How to Fix Blocked Telegram Channel 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 typically happens because the channel or group has been reported multiple times. Below are two scenarios and their corresponding solutions for addressing this issue:

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 it has been permanently banned by Telegram.

Inaccessible on Some Platforms

  1. 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 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 channels.
  • 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 issues with blocked Telegram channels and ensure smooth access to the content you need.
