Every time you add a profile picture on Telegram, the old one is not deleted. People who visit your profile will be able to see all the profile pictures you have uploaded since you opened the account. Here's how to delete old profile pictures on Telegram.
You can always hide your profile picture on Telegram, but the options there are limited. You can either show your profile picture to everyone or only to your contacts. There is no way to completely hide your profile picture on Telegram – your best bet is to remove the profile picture altogether.
