How to Lift Apple Restrictions on Groups in Telegram iOS App

Conclusion

To lift Apple restrictions on group settings in the Telegram iOS app, users can follow several methods. Below are the detailed steps to ensure you can smoothly access groups containing sensitive content.

Reasons for Lifting Apple Restrictions

Apple-restricted groups in Telegram (such as those with adult content) are primarily affected by two types of limitations: firstly, Apple App Store review restrictions, and secondly, regional legal restrictions. The former can be lifted using the methods described below.

Methods to Lift Restrictions

You can lift Apple restrictions on the Telegram iOS app using the following four methods:

Method A: Using Desktop Client

  1. Open the Telegram Desktop client.
  2. Click on the three horizontal lines in the top-left corner and select Settings.
  3. Go to Privacy and Security, then enable 'Disable filtering'.

Method B: Using macOS Client

  1. Open the Telegram client on macOS.
  2. Click on the three horizontal lines in the top-left corner and select Settings.
  3. Go to Privacy and Security, then enable 'Disable filtering'.

Method C: Using Web Version (New)

  1. Visit Telegram Web in your mobile or computer browser.

  2. Enter your phone number to log in (the verification code will primarily be sent to your previously logged-in Telegram device).

  3. On the main interface, click the three horizontal lines in the top-left corner and select Settings.

  4. Scroll to the bottom and enable “Show 18+ Content” or “Disable filtering”.

    Note: You must open the link in a browser. The verification code will primarily be sent to your previously logged-in Telegram device. If you open the link directly within Telegram, you will not be able to see the verification code.

Method D: Using Web Version (Old)

  1. Visit Telegram Web (Old Version) in your mobile or computer browser.

  2. Enter your phone number to log in (the verification code will primarily be sent to your previously logged-in Telegram device).

  3. On the main interface, click the three horizontal lines in the top-left or top-right corner and select Settings.

  4. Enable “Show Sensitive Content”.

    Note: Similarly, you need to open the link in a browser. The verification code will primarily be sent to your previously logged-in Telegram device.

Final Steps

After completing any of the above methods, restart your Telegram iOS app, or wait a few minutes before restarting, or log in again to ensure the settings take effect.

Remarks

  • Users in certain countries (e.g., Indonesia) may not see these options due to hard restrictions.
  • Birthday Setting: If your age is set to under 18, you will not see the relevant options. Please change your birthday.
  • Setting Location: Please note that these settings are not adjusted on the mobile app. You must perform these operations on the Desktop or Web version.
  • Compatible Systems: Telegram Desktop client can be used on Windows, macOS, and Linux systems.

By following the methods described above, you can easily lift Apple restrictions within the Telegram iOS app and smoothly access the required groups.
