Telegram logo. REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Apple said on Monday (3) that it briefly removed the Telegram messaging app from the App Store after an analysis identified content that violated its guidelines “prohibiting child sexual abuse material”. The company said it restored the app after “the developer promptly removed the content and banned the user who posted it.” Telegram wrote on X: “Reports about my death are greatly exaggerated.” An Apple spokesperson did not respond to a request for additional comment about the guidelines violation. Telegram also did not respond to a request for comment.
