Incident history
About Telegram
Telegram is a cloud-based messaging service that stores regular chats on its own servers, distributed across multiple data centres. Outages are usually regional, affecting users assigned to one data centre.
Common Telegram problems
- Messages not sending while the app connects normally.
- "Connecting..." stuck at the top of the screen, which points to a data centre problem.
- Media not downloading while text messages work.
- Regional differences, users in one part of the world are affected while others are not.
- Login code SMS not arriving for new sign-ins.
Where to check officially
- Telegram communicates outages through its own official channels within the app and on X.
- Telegram does not publish a formal status page or machine-readable feed.
- Our tracking relies on news coverage and user reports.
What to do when Telegram is down
- Check whether others in your region are affected - Telegram outages are frequently geographic.
- Do not log out. Signing back in requires a code that may also be affected.
- A VPN can sometimes help if the problem is a regional routing or blocking issue rather than a Telegram fault.
- Secret chats are device-local and are unaffected by server outages, but also unavailable from other devices.
