Apple has suspended the Telegram messaging app, citing a violation of its content guidelines related to child sexual abuse material. The suspension followed a review by Apple after concerns were raised about specific content shared on the platform.
According to Al Jazeera, Apple stated that its review found the content had violated guidelines prohibiting child sexual abuse material. The company did not specify when the concerning content was discovered or how long it had been available on Telegram before being flagged.
The suspension impacts all versions of the Telegram app and prevents new users from downloading it through the App Store. Existing users should still be able to use the application, but will not receive updates until the issue is resolved.
Telegram responded to the suspension by stating that Apple’s claims were based on content posted by *one* user. The messaging service indicated it had taken action against this user and informed Apple of its actions, but Apple proceeded with the suspension anyway.
