Telegram is gradually becoming available again for users in India after temporary restrictions were imposed during the NEET UG re-test period.
The messaging app has returned to both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, and many users have reported that messages are being sent and received normally.
However, some users are still facing problems such as chats not opening or messages failing to send. In most cases, a simple app refresh or restart may solve the issue.
What to Do If Telegram Is Still Not Working
If Telegram is not functioning properly on your device, the first step is to update the app to the latest version available on your app store. Once updated, close the app completely and reopen it.
This helps Telegram establish a fresh connection with its servers, which may resolve any remaining connectivity issues.
How Android Users Can Fix Telegram Issues
Android users can try a few simple steps to restore normal service:
Open the Google Play Store and check for Telegram updates.
Install the latest version if an update is available.
Go to Settings > Apps > Telegram.
Tap on “Force Stop.”
Reopen Telegram and wait a few moments for it to reconnect.
These steps can often fix message delivery and chat access problems.
How iPhone Users Can Fix Telegram Issues
iPhone users should also make sure they are running the latest version of Telegram.
Open the App Store and update Telegram if needed.
Open the App Switcher and close Telegram completely by swiping it away.
Launch the app again and wait a few seconds for it to reconnect to Telegram’s servers.
This process may help restore normal app performance.
Telegram Returns to App Stores
Telegram is now available again on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. During the temporary restriction period, users were unable to download or reinstall the app, creating confusion among many users.
In addition, Telegram’s official website is becoming accessible again for many people, suggesting that restrictions are being gradually removed.
Why Was Telegram Temporarily Blocked?
The temporary restriction was introduced after concerns that information and exam-related material connected to the NEET-UG re-examination could be shared through the platform.
As a precaution, authorities directed Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to block Telegram services for a limited period to prevent the possible circulation of exam content.
While messaging services are returning to normal, reports suggest that Telegram’s message editing feature may remain unavailable until June 30.
For users who are still facing issues, updating the app and restarting it remains the simplest and most effective solution.
