Telegram down: Messaging app broken for users across the world
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Messaging app Telegram has broken, leaving users unable to chat.
The issues mean that any messages that are sent will show a small clock, indicating they are unable to be delivered.
The app itself can still open, and old messages are still shown, meaning there is no obvious indication that the app has stopped working. However, messages will simply not send when they are posted.
The issues did not appear to be affecting every user or instance of Telegram. The Independent was able to send messages on the mobile app, for instance, but not on the desktop version.
