1. [R105] 5/5 · US Fast, Secure & Highly Productive: The fastest, most secure messaging app available. Unlimited cloud storage and powerful bot integrations make it incredibly productive.

3. [R69] 5/5 · US Best messenger!: Best messenger! · translated
4. [R33] 5/5 · US Huge thank to telegram team: I don’t know if this massage will reach telegram team but I am really thanking you guys for making the sms fee free. in the last 6 month I was struggling with that fee because I was an student and it was difficult to reach the lessons and the exercises but making it free will make my life easy and my education also easy so thank youuuuu really much.
5. [R10] 1/5 · US Your phone number is banned: I can’t sign in.I don’t know what happened.
6. [R20] 1/5 · US No abre no funciona: La peor app que existe, cada vez que la descargo, me pide el número y me envía el código, pero cuando lo pongo; la app se cierra y así permanence siempre. No entiendo por que? Ya le escribo varias veces a soporte tecnico y nisiquiera por educación me responden!!!
7. [R24] 2/5 · US Can’t receive phone code: The app was good but once I deleted and downloaded again and I can’t receive the code to login ? Why
8. [R55] 1/5 · US Can't even sign up: Won't let you sign up. Don't even bother. Never sends the confirmation text and requires an email on top of a phone number.

10. [R12] 1/5 · US Difficult in using telegram: Why should I pay before using telegram in Ghana
11. [R34] 1/5 · US Complain: Why are you asking me too pay for the app
12. [R43] 1/5 · US Stupid: Asking for money
13. [R6] 1/5 · US Predators: App for predators to share explicit content of abuse and rape videos. Telegram provides a platform for monsters to share unspeakable imagery with no concern for human beings. Telegram should be removed from the App Store, permanently. And all other app downloading platforms shame on you TELEGRAM. Should be included in the Epstein Files too… BOO. Tomato TOMATO.

16. [R21] 1/5 · US y’all gotta get rid of ts app: Yes I WILL judge you if you unironically use telegram I have seen so many bad things and cp come from it they need to ban this app as well as tiktok
17. [R16] 1/5 · US Notifications: Empty notifications keep coming endlessly, even with airplane mode on. The phone also gets very hot. · translated
18. [R25] 3/5 · US Notifications.: When will stable notifications be restored?... · translated
19. [R90] 5/5 · US No new message notifications: Strangely, I've stopped receiving new message notifications lately. Is this related to blockages? · translated
20. [R257] 3/5 · GB Telegram: Won’t stop updating
21. [R31] 1/5 · US Overheating issues: The app is good, however, I’m an active user of video messages, and when recording them, my iPhone literally gets as hot as a frying pan after just a couple of minutes! This has never happened on older versions before. Please fix the app. For now, I’m giving it 1 star because of the overheating issue, which should not be happening.
22. [R37] 1/5 · US Overheating: My iPhone 15 pro max overheating when using telegram
23. [R11] 3/5 · US Search bar ain’t working: I tried to use the the global search it doesn’t work anymore
24. [R15] 2/5 · US Very glitchy: You can’t even talk to your friends on here I press their profile and nothing happens! Very glitchy
25. [R32] 3/5 · US Has potential but is a buggy mess: Two longstanding bugs make this app downright unusable. 1. is that airpods announced messages are repeated over and over if not actioned. This is not how it works for other messaging apps btw. 2. is that autocorrect suggestions are auto-accepted on send but somehow the user input gets interspersed into the completion. Also not the case for other messaging apps. I
26. [R36] 1/5 · US Terrible Terrible Terrible: This app is the worst messenger app out there. Absolute trash and unreliable. Do not use this as an alternative messenger service because you will miss important things. This app is an absolute joke. I was on a ship and needed this app to communicate with others. My entire trip was extremely difficult because the app won’t open. I have deleted them downloaded the and st
27. [R1] 1/5 · US DO NOT USE! Privacy Settings Are A Lie!: I regret installing this garbage app more than anything else ever. It's a trojan horse! It's a Spam platform. I've been getting garbage and criminal spam since I made the mistake of putting my phone number on this app. The "privacy" settings are a total lie. How these scum got my phone number? This scummy app! This should be criminal!
28. [R2] 1/5 · US Complaints: I received a temporary restriction for sending "Hi" to a user. The Telegram bot decided the complaint was justified, even though my text contained no insults, spam, or any prohibited content. What's most frustrating isn't the restriction itself, but the lack of transparency. The user doesn't see what was deemed a violation and has to appeal without understanding what they did wrong. · translated
29. [R9] 1/5 · US Garage: My account has been limited because of “spam “ that I had absolutely nothing to do with because someone added me to a group chat that I had nothing to do with and apparently my account is permanently limited now with no way to remove the limitations so I am deleting this garbage app, I wish I could give it zero stars
30. [R51] 1/5 · US Non responsive: FYI if you’re new and your first message is to botfather, they’ll ban you and then not respond to you ever when you ask for help.
31. [R17] 1/5 · US Zero service: I couldn't cancel my messenger subscription. Money was debited, support doesn't respond, there's no one to call, customer convenience is simply non-existent. · translated
32. [R53] 1/5 · US Scammers: I informed Telegram that my account was hacked. I have since learned from my family that nothing has been done by Telegram. Looking into it more online, this is not at all unusual and Telegram is known for being lackluster in stopping hackers and scammers. Also, when you try to report these issues to Telegram, their support team is a “volunteer support team” and issues take a long tim
33. [R39] 1/5 · US Updates are terrible: Updates are getting worse and worse every time, this design is unbearable, developers stop messing up. · translated
34. [R50] 3/5 · US Extremely inconvenient feature: I'm sure everyone hates the right swipe on the main screen that brings up the camera. Please, I beg, I demand, and I cry for the option to remove this function through settings. · translated
35. [R86] 4/5 · US Stickers: The new sticker size is very inconvenient. They look disproportionately large and hinder normal communication. Please bring back the old size or add an option to switch between the old and new display!❤️ Please bring back the old sticker size or add an option to choose between the old and new sizes. The new oversized stickers look disproportionate and make chats less comfo · translated
36. [R311] 3/5 · GB VideoPlayer: Bring back the normal video player. What imbecile decided that covering half the screen with huge circles was a great idea? Annoying. · translated
37. [R100] 3/5 · US Bugs in the ipadOS version: There are a lot of bugs with the keyboard and typing experience with the ipadOS version.
38. [R358] 3/5 · GB Latest Version Crashes on the iPad: Still OK on iPhone. Please fix! iPadOS 17.7.10 iOS 26.4.1 Telegram 12.6.2

40. [R49] 3/5 · US 0.5 camera: I beg you, remove the 0.5 camera and make it smooth like it was before, without lag. · translated
41. [R63] 4/5 · US Circles: Circles work very poorly, they lag, freeze, and sometimes Telegram crashes completely. · translated
42. [R67] 5/5 · US Question.: Hello, why is the front camera's smoothness in circles very good on an iPhone during power saving mode, but very choppy on the non-front camera? And also without power saving, the front camera's frequency worsens, while the non-front camera's frequency is better? · translated
43. [R302] 3/5 · GB Bad quality video: video glitches when recording video message The latest version of ios and telegram instaled Fix please
44. [R165] 3/5 · US App notified all my phone contacts: Usually when an app asks to add your phone contacts, one assumes it’s just adding them to the contact list in the app. This app sends a notification to all of them that I joined, w no warning to me that this would happen. If you want to avoid that, add your contacts manually
