Users noticed that Telegram was no longer available on the App Store in several countries, including the United States, but it returned shortly after its disappearance without explanation.

Reports began showing up across social media of the app disappearing from the Apple App Store around 9:30 p.m. EST on Monday night. Users searching the App Store or opening a direct link to the app showed that it was no longer available.

Neither Apple nor Telegram has shared any details on why the app would suddenly be removed or its return. It is likely something related to App Review that had the app listing removed. Those that had the app already installed were unaffected by the removal.
