About Telegram
Telegram is a cloud messenger with private chats, large groups and public channels that many people use as a news source. The apps connect to Telegram's own servers, while telegram.org is the official website with downloads, the web version and documentation. Because channels spread news fast, Telegram is often restricted during protests, elections and exams. A check of telegram.org shows whether the website and its address answer normally from each country; the apps may still work in some cases thanks to their own ways of reaching the servers.

Frequently asked questions
Is Telegram down right now?
Not for most of the world. In our latest check on 12 November 2026, 06:10 UTC telegram.org opened from 82 of 86 countries. If it does not open for you, the cause is more likely local: your provider, your network or a restriction in your country. Run a new check to see the current result for your country.
Why does Telegram not open in my country?
When telegram.org works in other countries but not in yours, there are three usual reasons: a restriction ordered by authorities, filtering by your provider, or a network problem between your provider and Telegram. A different security certificate, a reset connection or a wrong address from DNS are typical signs of filtering; a timeout can be either filtering or a network fault.
How is telegram.org checked?
From measurement points in about 90 countries we look up the address of telegram.org with the local DNS and open a secure connection to it, checking that the site returns its own certificate. We do not load the page content, and we do not publish which networks the measurements came from.
