How to Resolve Telegram Channel Blocking Issues

If you encounter the following message when trying to access a channel or group on Telegram:

This channel has been blocked because it is used to spread pornographic content.

This is usually due to the channel or group being reported multiple times. Below are two scenarios for resolving this issue, along with their respective solutions:

Channel Completely Blocked

  1. Completely Blocked: If the channel is inaccessible on all platforms (including iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Windows Phone, Linux, Firefox OS, and the web version), then the channel has been completely banned by Telegram.

Partial Platform Restriction

  1. Partial Platform Restriction: If you are unable to access the channel on Telegram clients for iOS and macOS (such as Telegram or Telegram X) but can access it on other platforms, this is typically due to Apple's content restrictions. Telegram must comply with these restrictions to avoid being removed from the App Store.

Solutions

  • For iOS Users: You can try using Telegram X version 5.0.2 or earlier to access the blocked channel.
  • For macOS Users: It is recommended to download the client directly from the official Telegram website to access restricted channels.

By following the methods outlined above, you can effectively resolve Telegram channel blocking issues and ensure smooth access to the desired content.
