Telegram was briefly removed from the App Store on Monday. According to Apple, the removal was due to content that violated guidelines prohibiting child sexual abuse material.

The app was restored after Telegram promptly removed the content and banned the user who posted it, according to Apple. The company provided this information in a statement to 9to5Mac about 20 minutes after access to the app was restored.

Telegram is a secure alternative to other messaging apps, known for its cross-platform availability and end-to-end encryption options, making it attractive to users concerned about privacy and security.
