Users of the service that tracks outages and interruptions of Internet resources report issues with Telegram Messenger. A correspondent from socialbites.ca confirmed these observations after hands-on testing and user reports.
Many users report that the desktop version of Telegram fails to function properly, while messages sent via the mobile app occasionally freeze or delay. Technical glitches are affecting a significant portion of the user base, and the impact is felt across both platforms.
Around 28% of reported disruptions point to issues at Telegram server endpoints as part of the root cause. This suggests a systemic problem affecting server health and message delivery rather than isolated device-side faults.
Additionally, 16% of users are experiencing problems with the Telegram web client, indicating that browser-based access is not immune to outages. The combination of desktop, mobile, and web problems underscores a broad service disruption pattern rather than a single-point failure.
Historically, Russia has operated a domestic alternative to Downdetector called Fault Monitoring. The service is hosted on the website of the Center for Public Network Monitoring and Control, referred to here as CMU SSOP. This local solution mirrors Downdetector’s approach by aggregating user-reported incidents to visualize service health in real time.
The Fault Monitoring platform provides a heatmap of faults derived from user data, enabling users to see regional patterns of service degradation across Russia. In addition, the site offers a mirror service that displays information about network status and visibility, routing data, and autonomous system connection graphs. Data is updated in real time from multiple Russian telecom operators through the Center’s comprehensive monitoring system, delivering timely insights into network conditions and outages across the country.
