How can I use multiple accounts with Telegram?
Is there a way to have two copies of telegram app in Ubuntu each with a different account?
It seems copying the app in another folder does not work.

This is the solution I use as I have yet to find a viable alternative to the telegram desktop app. most of the others are only wrappers for the web interface.

For what its worth, you should run 'su otheruser' instead of 'sudo -u otheruser'.

Franz allows you to add each service many times. This makes Franz the
perfect tool to manage multiple business and private accounts at the
same time. You could even use five different Facebook Messenger
accounts at once, if some inexplicable reason urges you to do so.

For each instance you wish to open, create a fresh directory with Telegram and Updater files. Now create Telegram.desktop (or whatever name.desktop) file with this content:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Telegram
Exec="$(dirname $(realpath %k))"/Telegram -workdir "$(dirname $(realpath %k))"
Categories=Internet;Messenger #Optional
Icon=Telegram #Optional
Terminal=false
Put this file inside your Telegram instance folder, make it executable, and run.
This will work even if you create a symlink of .desktop file and run it.

You can use a multi-protocol, multi-account client like Pidgin (or anything based on libpurple):
Add a package repository with Telegram support for libpurple:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt update
Install Pidgin and the Telegram plug-in for it:
sudo apt install pidgin telegram-purple
Start Pidgin and set it up to use as many Telegram accounts as you like.

For each instance you wish to open, create a fresh directory with Telegram and Updater files. Now create Telegram.desktop (or whatever name.desktop) file with this content:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Telegram
Exec="$(dirname $(realpath %k))"/Telegram -workdir "$(dirname $(realpath %k))"
Categories=Internet;Messenger #Optional
Icon=Telegram #Optional
Terminal=false
Put this file inside your Telegram instance folder, make it executable, and run.
This will work even if you create a symlink of .desktop file and run it.
