When Telegram Will Work In India ?
As the retest is over now, several users are desperate to know when will telegram start working in India ? Since the temporary ban is in effect till today, which is 22nd June 2026, chances of accessibility to the app will begin from tomorrow i.e 23rd June 2026. However, Telegram’s message editing feature is to remain inaccessible till 30th June 2026. So the answer to the question of when telegram will work in India is tomorrow.
Telegram Founder Opposed The Move
Telegram founder Pavel Durov publicly criticised the telegram ban in India till 22nd June 2026. Claiming that the app is penalised even for the ordinary users although the exam leaks had been shared somewhere else. Telegram had also moved the Delhi High Court against the temporary ban, in view of asking for relief from the restriction. However, the Delhi Court declined to interfere with the government’s order of banning the app. Justice Tejas Karia held that the government had followed due process before imposing the temporary ban, and also observed that the government was empowered under section 69A to block access to the app.
As of now, be patient enough till 23rd June 2026 for the telegram services to resume in India while the message editing feature is expected to remain disabled till 30th June 2026.
