Telegram Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • NilsHempel Nils Hempel (@NilsHempel) reported

    @peer_rich How come you didn’t pick Signal or Threema? Are they lacking any specific features that make the problems with Telegram worth it?

  • Ozzair_Oz Uzair (@Ozzair_Oz) reported

    @Farishtay4 Telegram, if you intend it for group chat. A) You can read msgs prior to your joining time. B) Unlimited no. of users for any group. Familiarity is an issue though. But with all the crap in zuker bucker’s mind, we should look for an alternative.

  • HermannBosch Harry (@HermannBosch) reported

    @Sentletse @MaqPaulM But Telegram sends a message when a contact joins. They read and monitor it. So what's the point of switching if that is the issue?

  • meowstet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (@meowstet) reported

    @shucookies My family uses LINE so it's not a problem for me. It's more like people in thr UK are used to using whatsapp, so I'm waiting to see what they'd switch to before deciding. I have Telegram already, so I prefer that to downloading another app

  • SGDband Smiley (@SGDband) reported

    @patriot7114 @robbystarbuck @telegram You must be single or divorced, your argument/reasoning skills are terrible

  • pjmckee Pete McKee (@pjmckee) reported

    @whoisgraham @telegram @signalapp Been on Telegram for years. It's such a better experience than WA. The only problem, as you've pointed out, is trying to get people to move over.

  • Swagata41612181 Swagata Mukherjee (@Swagata41612181) reported

    @saurvgagnhospet @signalapp using signal for 5 yrs now and yes audience is responsible for the downfall take telegram we were using for long but now it has turned into a torent chat and who are paying for the servers and who will be responsible if telegram **** Down ? signal is10 yrs old and will not die

  • pax_draconis The Phantom of Truth (@pax_draconis) reported

    I am shutting down my WhatsApp and moving to telegram in the next week, for those of you I speak to on there. I mostly only use it for uni, but I won't willingly support the Facebook data hoover.

  • Borjonudo This is me (@Borjonudo) reported

    @telegram Hi! When I record an audio message, it's recorded like in slow-mo and when it's a video the audio of it it's broken. I am using an iPhone XS, 14.3 and already restarted the iPhone and reinstalled Telegram, the problem persist. Is there a solution for this bug? Thank u

  • SAFinmin SA Minstrel of Finance (@SAFinmin) reported

    @Delphine_DG Your problem - plenty went to Signal and more to Telegram. Now you need to run 3 apps to keep up with everybody. Let’s see whichbof these are more active at the end of March. I suspect it will ne terribly difficult to leave WhatsApp

  • pax_draconis The Phantom of Truth (@pax_draconis) reported

    @thatinterlace I am already on signal; telegram is a closer like for like service.

  • phantomfunda Phantom😎 (@phantomfunda) reported

    "The network effect" moat of WhatsApp is being put to test Ppl are installing telegram/signal, but are they deleting WA/FB ? The Chains of Habit Are Too Light To Be Felt Until They Are Too Heavy To Be Broken - WB

  • Pyper_001 Pyper (@Pyper_001) reported

    So Google, Apple and Amazon shut Parler down. I believe telegram is also being targeted. What does that tell you people? They refuse to tolerate competition. Fbook, Twit and what's app have become to powerful. What's their gain?? It's far from innocent. Control!!

  • _mikepound Mike Pound (@_mikepound) reported

    @_jonnywright_ @telegram I've got no issue with it. I only looked into it a couple of years ago, at which point I slightly preferred the encryption strategy of signal, but it may well be different now.

  • anhtu2811_vu ANH TU (@anhtu2811_vu) reported

    @telegram I sent image in bulk through Telegram destop. Some of images went to Photo but most of them are classified to Data. Is this an error?

  • xxlorrainexxx Lorraine (@xxlorrainexxx) reported

    @Stat_O_Guy Parler being taken off line by amazon. They use their servers. Gonna be down for about a week. Get yourself on telegram until then. It goes down at midnight tonight (sunday)

  • kbdodson 🗽 KB Life Unhitched (@kbdodson) reported

    @JohnWiQ1776 Is he on Gab or Telegram? I want to keep up with Parler sitting down.

  • ThatMooGuy Moo (@ThatMooGuy) reported

    If anyone needs help locking down their TG from a privacy point of view, drop me a DM. Telegram has some really good privacy settings but people with your number will be able to see your account.

  • MrOdanz Kelvin Odanz (@MrOdanz) reported

    There is no privacy anywhere on the internet. Whether you're using WhatsApp or signal or Telegram. The privacy protection service you're using has access to your privacy. Even Thor Browser (the gateway to the "Dark Web") is funded by the US government. He who pays the Piper eh?

  • Charles_Rebele Abuti Charles ☺️ (@Charles_Rebele) reported from Tembisa, Gauteng

    @Kueenzee Hai Telegram is just a call for trouble 🤞🤞

  • Syedwajidiqbal1 S Wajid Iqbal Bukhari (@Syedwajidiqbal1) reported

    @despo_single Not an issue for me. I'm using telegram from the last 6 years.

  • TechnoGenuine TechnoGenuine (@TechnoGenuine) reported

    My family and I were convinced that @signalapp would be the most reliable messenger app for us. Unfortunately the second day of using we had to immediately switch to telegram due to slow or server net issues from Signal app. I know that there is a surge of downloads and I...1/2

  • Swamii_says ♚ Swami Says ♚ 🇮🇳 (@Swamii_says) reported

    WhatsApp to Signal/Telegram is the *FarmersProtest* moment for the WhatsAppians.... Other than that, nothing is the issue. 🙏

  • Thabo_Tshisi Thabo (@Thabo_Tshisi) reported

    @TheMoor_Za I think this telegram frenzy will die down in a few days, don't see it working for me.

  • tinucherian Tinu Cherian Abraham (@tinucherian) reported

    Remember if you're not paying for the service... YOU are the product. You do have a choice on you want to use Signal or Telegram or WhatsApp. But all this sudden discovery that Signal / Telegram is better and safer than WhatsApp is just hilarious.

  • 265lisa Loki (@265lisa) reported

    @1learninglife I was up until 4am checking out other apps because this one is a lunatic asylum & Parler is being taken down for a bit. I now have Telegram, Mind & Signal too. Almost time to bin Twitter.

  • ahmcguffin Annie🌊Wear A Mask or Casket 🌊 (@ahmcguffin) reported

    @TeaPainUSA Seems there's an app called Telegram Messenger that supremacists who have fled to eastern Europe are using. Or Thiel will start up a hosting service for them.

  • FrugalLocal Frugal Local 🇿🇦 (@FrugalLocal) reported

    @budgetology Rather not, it's terrible. They all just ask for the top stock picks and secret telegram groups.

  • lung_STAR_ BridgetteJones (@lung_STAR_) reported

    Ok this Telegram thing is going to be a problem because those I blocked or deleted who still have my number can pick me up there.😑

  • 265lisa Loki (@265lisa) reported

    @YorkshireHollz Get Mind & Telegram too because Parler is going down today.
