BREAKING: TELEGRAM WAS REMOVED FROM THE APP STORE!
Telegram was removed from the iOS App Store worldwide on Monday night.
This past weekend, Russia’s main domestic security agency, the FSB, announced that Telegram founder Pavel Durov has been charged with aiding terrorism and put on an international wanted list.
CBS News reported:
“The charges against Durov, who was born and began his career in Russia but later moved abroad, came as the Russian authorities restrict Telegram, one of the most popular messaging apps in the country – […] Soon after the charges were announced, Telegram’s official account on X posted an image of Durov making an obscene gesture with his middle finger. There was no other immediate comment from Durov or Telegram.”
Here is what you get tonight when you look up Telegram on the App Store:
When you type in a search for Telegram you get WhatsApp, Instagram, and Truth Social but not Telegram.
Here is what you get if you run the app on your phone.
