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 is blocked because it was used to spread pornographic content.

This usually happens because the channel or group has been reported multiple times. Below are two scenarios and their corresponding solutions to resolve this issue:

Channel Completely Blocked

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

Inaccessible on Certain Platforms

2. Partial Platform Restriction: If you cannot 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 usually due to content restrictions imposed by Apple. To avoid being removed from the App Store, Telegram must comply with these restrictions.

Solutions

• For iOS Users: You can try using Telegram X version 5.0.2 or an earlier version 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 above, you can effectively resolve Telegram channel blocking issues and ensure smooth access to the desired content.
