Telegram and telegram x temporarily removed from the 'app store'

There may be users who have already noticed it. But if you enter the App Store today, the Telegram and Telegram X applications are not present. Both have been removed from the Apple app store. Both were removed last morning from the store. This morning many users noticed the absence and began to ask why.

Telegram and Telegram X temporarily removed from the 'App Store'

Apparently Apple has notified the creators of Telegram that inappropriate content has been detected for users. For this reason, both applications were removed from the App Store. Although it is temporary and it is expected that they will be available again soon.

We were alerted by Apple that inappropriate content was made available to our users and both apps were taken off the App Store. Once we have protections in place we expect the apps to be back on the App Store.

Telegram and Telegram X are not on the App Store

It has been the founder of Telegram himself, Pavel Durov, who has spoken about it. You have commented that Apple has notified them that there was inappropriate content in the applications. Although what type of content has not been mentioned. For this reason, both applications have been removed from the App Store. When the proper protection systems are in place, both are expected to be available again.

But at the moment it is unknown when this will be. Since in the first place it has to be Apple that gives the go-ahead to the applications. So it is not known how long this will take to occur.

What seems clear is that it is something temporary. So soon the two applications will be available again in the store. In addition, users who have them downloaded can continue to use them normally. So there is no reason to worry.
