How to Deal with Restricted Telegram Accounts

If your Telegram account has been officially restricted, preventing you from sending messages in public groups or initiating private chats, here are some effective methods and recommendations to address the issue.

Main Reasons

  1. Reporting for Harassment: If someone reports you in a private chat, your account might get restricted.
  2. Group Administration: If you're kicked out of a group and the admin chooses to report you, it can also impact your account status.
  3. Numbers from SMS Verification Platforms: Avoid using numbers obtained from SMS verification platforms, as these are often used by multiple individuals and are prone to being flagged as spam accounts.
  4. Virtual Number Risks: Exercise caution when using virtual numbers like Google Voice (GV), as some of these numbers may have been previously used by others.
  5. Bulk Registrations: Registering multiple accounts from the same IP address or network can trigger restrictions.
  6. Aggressive Anti-Spam Features: Some groups have robust anti-spam features enabled, which might mistakenly flag your messages or links as advertisements. If you're aware a group has this feature, it's advisable to leave it.

Please note that you won't be able to find out which specific user reported you, or for which particular message you were reported. This restriction is not tied to the registered phone number; any number can potentially face similar restrictions.

Unrestriction Information

Your bot's reply will indicate the unrestriction time, and your account will be automatically unrestricted at that point. Please note that this time is calculated in UTC. For confirmation, you can click here to view UTC time.

If the bot's reply does not provide an unrestriction time, it indicates that the account will not be automatically unrestricted, and you would need to contact official support for the specific reason.

Update Information

Purchasing Telegram Premium might expedite the unrestriction process. Telegram officially states: "Telegram Premium subscribers enjoy shorter initial restrictions."

By following the methods above, you can better understand and handle situations where your Telegram account is restricted, ensuring your usage experience remains unaffected.
