How to Resolve Blocked Telegram Channels

If you encounter the message "This channel has been blocked because it is used to spread pornographic content" when using Telegram, it means access to the channel has been restricted due to content reports. Below are effective methods to resolve this issue.

Overview

There are primarily two scenarios when dealing with blocked Telegram channels: one is a complete block, and the other is platform-specific access restrictions. We offer specific solutions for the latter.

Scenario Analysis

1. Complete Block

If a channel is completely blocked by Telegram, it cannot be accessed by clients on any platform, and there is no solution in this case.

2. Platform Restrictions

In some cases, a 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 content restrictions on the App Store.

Solutions

iOS Users

1. Use an Older Version: Download Telegram X version 5.0.2 or an earlier version; you will then be able to access blocked channels.

2. Access via Web Version: Access channels 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, and then compile and use it yourself.

macOS Users

• Download Official Client: Directly download and install the client from the official Telegram website; you will then 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.
