Telegram temporarily goes missing from Apple’s App Store for users in multiple countries, including the United States. Reports from Monday evening describe the app as unavailable when searched in the App Store or when opened via direct links. Users noticed the change starting around 9:30 p.m. EST, and coverage indicates the removal appears to affect App Store listings worldwide.
The app then returns shortly afterward. By late evening or early Tuesday, Telegram is again available to users. Several outlets report that Telegram does not provide a clear explanation for the disruption. One report notes that Telegram makes a brief public comment on X along the lines of “reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated,” while still not detailing the cause.
Apple has not issued a public statement explaining why the app listing was removed and restored. The episode affects a widely used cross-platform messaging service. The incident is reported as brief, with users able to access the app again after the listing returns.
