Telegram users have reported a glitch affecting the messenger, a situation being tracked by the Telegram Information channel. The reports suggest a disruption that began in certain regions and continues to affect how the app connects across networks.
Sources indicate that the trouble started around 12:35 local time in parts of Russia, with issues appearing whether users rely on mobile data or on Wi‑Fi. The inconsistency across network types has left many online communities wondering about the exact cause and the scope of the outage.
Crash Detector data points to a higher concentration of complaints around major hubs such as Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Krasnodar, Novosibirsk, and even Minsk, the capital of Belarus. While the pattern is clear in terms of geography, a precise origin for the failure has not been identified publicly, and Telegram has not issued a definitive explanation for the disruption.
Some users report odd behavior where the app functions on Wi‑Fi but not on mobile data, while others find that messaging and channel navigation work as usual but media downloads, including images and other files, stall or fail. This split in performance across different network conditions has intensified frustration for people who depend on Telegram for real-time communication, media sharing, and updates in busy chats.
News of a similar global disruption surfaced in mid February, when users in various regions behind different carriers experienced related problems with sending messages and downloading files. The persistence of these issues in multiple locales underscores the challenges that large messaging platforms face when routing data across varied networks and infrastructure.
In related observations, developers previously examined another widely used Telegram feature amid ongoing discussions about app stability and user experience. This context helps illuminate why ongoing monitoring and rapid incident response continue to be high priorities for the Telegram community and its users, who rely on dependable connectivity for both personal and professional communication.
