Apple Removes Telegram from App Store Worldwide

On the night of August 3, Apple removed Telegram from the App Store in all countries before restoring it a few hours later.

Key points:
• Apple officially confirmed that it removed Telegram after a review detected child abuse content.
• Effective across all regions — searching for Telegram on the App Store at that time yielded no results.
• Users who had already installed it could still use it normally, but could not download it anew or reinstall it.
• Telegram removed the content and banned the uploader accounts, prompting Apple to restore the app.

[Insight: Do not download Telegram from external websites or unknown APK files, as this is when malware disguised as Telegram spreads most heavily.]
