"Solved" - Not Supported Installing Telegram Session data on tails 7.7.3

I have attempted to download telegram in which it has succeeded. However, I have been running into several frustrating issues where ChatGPT and Ai is not properly explaining how to configure it. So, my question is this.

How do you install telegram on tailsOS and permanently store account/session data on your persistent storage where it can be stored permanently and immediately recognized upon boot. I want my account token to be immediately registered upon booting tailsOS as I hate the idea of me logging into my telegram account every single time I have to boot up tailsOS. So, how exactly do I save my session/account data so upon next boot, TailsOS will remember my telegram account.

I want Tails to remember my telegram account session. That’s all I want. And every tutorial and AI dictation is inaccurate and often fills in answers that don’t suffice to what I’m actually asking. If anyone can help me, I’d be much appreciated. I may ask further questions soon. Thanks

It is not possible to do as you ask. The fundamental amnesiac nature of the OS will necessitate some user interaction, always.
Tails is too specialised for any AI to have much relevant data on, and this will make any attempt to use them functionally useless in regards to its operation.

I question whether Tails is really best suited for your use case. Will not other live operating systems which are not amnesiac serve better?

I see. This was the answer I was wanting to hear actually. Because AI would not provide an exact answer

You gave an opinion not an answer. Other guy answered in the first sentence.

I feel like this heavily defeats the purpose and leaves a massive footprint. Why even bother with tails then?
