How to Resolve Blocked Telegram Channels

If you encounter a message in Telegram stating: "This channel has been blocked because it's used to spread pornographic content," it means access to the channel has been restricted due to content reports. Here are some effective ways to resolve this issue.

Overview

There are primarily two scenarios when dealing with a blocked Telegram channel: one is a complete block, and the other is platform-specific access restrictions. For the second scenario, we've provided specific solutions.

Situation Analysis

1. Complete Block

If a channel is completely blocked by Telegram, it won't be accessible from any client on any platform, and there's no solution in this case.

2. Platform Restrictions

In some cases, the channel might be inaccessible on the App Store versions for iOS and macOS, while still being accessible on clients for other platforms. This is due to Apple's restrictions on App Store content.

Solutions

For iOS Users

1. Use an Older Version: Download Telegram X version 5.0.2 or an earlier version, and you'll be able to access blocked channels.

2. Access via Web Version: Access the channel by visiting the Telegram web version.

3. Custom Client: Since the Telegram client is open-source, you can download the source code, modify the relevant restricted sections, then compile and use it yourself.

For macOS Users

• Download from Official Website: Directly download and install the client from the official Telegram website, and you'll be able to access blocked channels.

By using the methods above, you can effectively resolve the issue of blocked Telegram channels, ensuring smooth access to the content you need.
