Answer: No Telegram issues reported in the last 24 hours, and it responded normally at our last check on 24 Oct 2026, 4:00 AM IST.
Our automated check runs from one or more locations and may miss in-app problems; reports come from users across India. We only call something "down" when users confirm it too. Here's how we check.

About Telegram
Telegram, the cloud-based messaging app, syncs chats across phones, tablets and computers, including web.telegram.org and the desktop app. It carries groups, channels, bots and secret chats, and sends files of up to 2 GB each, or 4 GB with Premium.
Login codes arrive by SMS, or inside the Telegram chat on a device where you are already logged in.

Questions
Check the reports on this page. Many reports from different cities at once point to Telegram's side. With only a handful of reports, check your own connection and app.
If reports are high here, wait for Telegram. If not, check whether Telegram has limited your account: reported accounts can message only people who saved their number, and a frozen account can read chats but not send. Otherwise switch networks and update the app.
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, then close and reopen the app. If it still will not connect, try web.telegram.org or the desktop app, since Telegram keeps your chats in the cloud. When many people report the same here, the problem is Telegram's.
Open the chat with Telegram, the verified profile with a blue check, on any device where you already use Telegram. Telegram sends the code there instead of SMS if you used an app recently. Enter your number in international format, +91 then the number. Codes by phone call work only with two-step verification on.
Spam reports can limit your account. A limited account can still message people who saved your number and reply to anyone who writes first. Telegram says a first limit lasts a few days; if you think it is a mistake, contact @SpamBot.
Each file can be up to 2 GB, or 4 GB with Premium, so anything bigger will not go through. For smaller files, check your connection, then try again from web.telegram.org or the desktop app.
Pehle dekhiye yahan kitni reports aayi hain. Kam hon to Wi-Fi ki jagah mobile data chalaiye, ya ulta, aur app band karke kholiye. Message nahi ja raha to ho sakta hai account par limit lagi ho; @SpamBot se pata kijiye.
