NSFW Central

So, personally, i’ve used telegram in college for college parties, etc. but other than that and chatting with someone clear across the world, this is a predatory app. cp gets distributed here daily and nothing is done to shut down the app. sex workers use this for clientele. this app shouldn’t be accessible to anyone under 18 and there should be no cp on this app. that’s horrendous and gross.

Video player

Fix freaking video player, it is impossible to use, it is freezing even with WiFi

i can’t edit my channel’s messages

Telegram is a great app, but when I search for messages using a hashtag and tap the “Edit” option in the menu, the edit box doesn’t appear. The same thing happens when I search for text and try to edit a message from the search results. The edit box only appears after I close the search bar.

Log in problem

Wy is not log in im trying to login but it won’t work

please bring back multiple message selection upto the latest message feature

whenever i visit telegram, there are around 20+ messages that i have to forward to another chat from a main chat. in the past this was quite easy as all i had to do was tap on the first message on two fingers and drag it down and it would scroll while selecting the messages. whola!! everything is selected! and now it's gone and i have to manually select everything one by one and it's exhausting. please bring it back. i wish i could downgrade the app just so i can use the feature again. thank you
