Apple reveals why it briefly removed Telegram from the App Store: 'Our review found content that violates...'
Apple temporarily removed Telegram from the App Store after review found content violating guidelines prohibiting child sexual abuse material.
Telegram quickly removed the offending content and permanently banned the user responsible, leading to the app's restoration.
The removal occurred on Monday, preventing new downloads, but existing users' functionality was unaffected.
Before Apple's explanation, speculation linked the removal to Telegram's X post about the Epstein files.
Apple stated the app was restored after the developer promptly removed the content and banned the user.
