How to Fix Telegram Group or Channel Display Issues

If you encounter situations where Telegram groups or channels are not displaying, you can take the following steps to resolve the issue.

Summary

If you see the message “This channel can't be displayed because it was used to spread pornographic content” in Telegram, this typically means the group or channel has been reported and restricted for distributing pornographic material. The key to resolving this issue is to understand the reason for the restriction and which clients it affects.

Causes of the Problem

Content Reporting: When someone in a group posts pornographic content and it's reported, Telegram will restrict that group. It's important to note that Telegram only processes received reports and does not proactively moderate content. Therefore, if no one reports it, the group will not be restricted.

Two Scenarios

iOS and Mac Client Restrictions: If you are using a Telegram client downloaded from the App Store, you might encounter this restriction. This is because Apple has strict review standards for content listed on its platform. Other clients (such as Android or desktop versions) typically do not have this restriction, allowing you to access groups normally. Furthermore, you can try logging in via the web version to lift the restriction, though this might not be available in certain specific regions.
Permanent Ban: If you find that the group is inaccessible via all clients and the web version, and messages are not displaying correctly, this means the group has been permanently banned. In such a situation, you may need to consider joining other groups.

By understanding the reasons why Telegram groups or channels may not display and their solutions, you can use the platform more effectively and avoid unnecessary restrictions.
