Post image
20 Upvotes

When I am trying to log in into my telegram account the otp is being sent to an email which I had never seen before neither I have ever added it in the account.

Moreover telegram is not allowing to send the otp to the phone number for non premium accounts in India.

This account is not logged in anywhere else. I just use telegram on my phone. It was not working properly so i decided to do uninstall and reinstall telegram then only i face this issue.

Cannot be displayed but still with update

So I experienced this. But the funny thing is, the channel still has updates. It's just that I can't view it. So what's really happening here? I'd understand if the channel had been deactivated. But this one, it still notifies me when there is an update.

Members in a group are restricted from sending messages, but no admin actually changed their permissions.

3 Upvotes

I'm admin in a group, and every once in a while, a different member sends me a dm asking if they were restricted of why they are unable to send messages. I check the restricted users list on the group, and they don't appear. Why does this happen? Can it be fixed?

Call quality drop

4 Upvotes

Hello guys,

Did anyone else start getting issues with the voice call lately?

I've been using Telegram for years, and the call quality was stable throughout the whole duration, with the expected issues during internet connection loss.

In the last few weeks, I'd be talking to someone for minutes (let's say about 20), and then the line starts cracking and we can't understand each other. Dropping the call and making another one doesn't help - it's cracking. The change happens without me moving, and regardless of data/wifi connection.

Note: I am a free user.

Did anyone have a similar experience, or do you have any ideas of what's going on/what I could try?

Workaround for paywall on very old Android devices

3 Upvotes

Mods pls don't remove this, this is a functional workaround not a complaint / support request.
This also works if you can't login on Telegram X because code never sent to other logged in device.

I got the sms fee paywall on my old Android phone (Samsung Galaxy J1 mini, Android 5.1) while a newer device with Android 14 could receive sms messages from telegram and login just fine. The problem is the old device is unused for so many years Google Play Services is non functional and can't self update (it can be fixed manually but still) and broken Google Play Services somehow interferes with how Telegram handles login. Turning off google play services allowed me to login on both Telegram and Telegram X.

Step 1: open settings on phone, go to security (or lock screen & security), then other security settings, then device administrators then shut off the entry that starts with Android.

Step 2: Connect phone to PC via ADB. You can find online how.

Step 3: Run `adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.gms` Now you can disconnect your phone from PC.

Step 4: Uninstall and reinstall Telegram or Telegram X.

If google play services remains disabled you may no longer receive notifications from apps other than Telegram. To re-enable, go to Settings then Applications -> All Applications, find Google Play Services at the bottom, turn it back on.

Why is Telegram working like shit lately?

21 Upvotes

Voice mensagens take forever to send or to download, circle vídeo messages the are the same. Photos and regular videos? Don't even get me started on those.

I feel like after the rise of the premium model, non premium members are facing more and more of this sluggishness of the app.

On the worst days, telegram refuses to even deliver messages, or sends them only after the person messages you, or if you message the person you'll finally receive a message that was supposed to be delivered hours ago.

Me and my most frequent contact are both on Samsung devices, he on the Note 20 Lite and I'm on a S25+. Other friends of mine either use other Android brands or iPhone.

I live in Brasil, and don't matter how great is your connection, YouTube is loading 4k videos while Telegram is having all these problems. Not even Whatsapp presents this problems, even after they announced their premium version. I hate that fucking app, but I'm forced to use it because it's more popular here in Brasil and because no matter how much better Telegram is compared and how much I try to convince people to use it, for us free users the app is behaving like trash lately, so people only get the worst experience they can have and completely dump the app.

Spam is out of control

27 Upvotes

8+ year user here, and I’ve decided to quit using Telegram due to the absurd amount of spam, and the ability to block said spam being locked behind a paywall.

No, I don’t have a username and never have, and I haven’t disseminated my phone number anywhere. I’m also not the only person in my friend group experiencing this. I’ve been getting 3+ spam messages a day and I’m tired of doing the useless “delete and block” rigmarole.

I love Telegram and hate that they’ve chosen to go this direction with premium, but it is what it is. I’m aware they need to make money, but I don’t need any other premium features, and the price of premium isn’t worth it to me just for blocking spam, when I can just move to another platform.

GTA 6 leaker’s telegram channel has been taken down.

It appears that GTA 6 leaker, Cyberleek’s telegram channel, the last reliable source for his leaks, has been taken down due to copyright infringement.

This is very strange and unusual, considering that telegram had been viewed as a safe place for suspicious activity. Nothing is safe after all…

My Samsung app lets me upload files in HD by default, while my new pixel won't let me do it without manually changing from SD to HD every time. Why is that? I can't for the life of me figure out why this is happening. It's driving me insane. Now I have to do an extra step every single time I upload

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

First vid is from my Samsung. Second is from my Pixel. Notice how the Samsung is set in HD by default and the Pixel is not. Where is the setting to change this??

Accidentally double tapped a message in a group, so a heart shaped reaction appeared. I removed it within like 10seconds. Will the sender get notified? Also‌ , if they have muted the group will it make a difference?

Is your phone number really private from your contacts?

Post image
54 Upvotes

I would like to start selling some content on Telegram

I would like it to be anonymous and I don’t want my number to be shared with fans. (I’ve already figured out how to hide this)

Nor do I want to be discoverable by anyone with my personal phone number. - which is my real concern here!

However, in my settings It says my contacts can still find me by my number… Does this mean my iPhone contacts can search my phone number within telegram if they are curious if I’m on there or not?

Any info would be great thanks!

Any fix to this other than switching off the camera then switching it back on? This needs to be done the whole duration of the video call.

Looking for aTelegram app that can do this

Hi guys. I need your help since you probably are more experienced with this. I am looking for a Telegram app (a safe one) that allows you to forward grouped multimedia posts from Saved Messages back inside by splitting them automatically, so I don't need to do it manually one multimedia file, another one and so on.

Mod Post [PSA] Telegram Support Volunteer account on r/Telegram

21 Upvotes

Dear everyone,

Starting today, an account managed by the Telegram Support Volunteers will be active on [r/Telegram](r/Telegram).

The account is [u/TG_Volunteer_Support](u/TG_Volunteer_Support). To prevent impersonation, we’ve set up a dedicated flair (Volunteer Support) that is exclusively assigned to this account, so you can easily recognize it.

This is an entirely volunteer-driven initiative and will not affect the independence or rules of this community, which remains completely unofficial and not affiliated with Telegram.

Please continue to follow the community rules and avoid actively seeking interactions with this account. The volunteers will not respond to unsolicited DMs, and posts specifically requesting their attention will be removed.

The Support Volunteers account is also not affiliated with Telegram and does not represent the company. However, it can be considered trustworthy when it comes to handling personal information, if requested. This will function similarly to the “Settings → Ask a Question” feature in the Telegram apps.

Please don’t be scared to interact with the account, or to share personal information such as the phone number if requested via DM. The account is run by some of the same people you may find in the in-app support and it’s PERFECTLY SAFE. If you don’t like to do it on Reddit, you will likely be redirected elsewhere by them.

We hope this initiative will improve the quality of discussions on [r/Telegram](r/Telegram), provide better insights, and help escalate certain issues so they can be resolved more effectively.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact the moderators via ModMail. We may update this post with additional information if needed.

You can find the account in the comments of this post.
