Messaging platform Telegram appears to have been removed from the App Store in multiple countries, although the reason for its apparent removal remains unclear.

Existing users can still access the app

As of Monday evening, searches for Telegram on the iOS and iPadOS App Store were no longer returning the messaging app for some users across several regions.

At the time of writing, however, Telegram remains available through the Mac App Store. The app also appears to remain available through Google Play.

Neither Apple nor Telegram has issued statements about the situation. 9to5Mac has reached out to Apple, and we’ll update this post if we hear back or as soon as more information becomes available.
