Telegram Ban Lifted, But This Feature Still Isn't Working—Here's Why

Telegram India: The ban on Telegram in India has been lifted, and the service is operating as usual; however, the message editing feature remains disabled.

Telegram India: The temporary ban imposed on Telegram in India has been lifted. Users can now send and receive messages just as before. Additionally, the app has returned to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, meaning it can be reinstalled. However, one specific feature of the app is still not functioning, and users will have to wait about another week for it to return. Along with imposing the ban, the government had ordered that this feature remain disabled.

Why was Telegram banned?

First, it is important to understand why the ban was imposed. A re-examination for NEET was held in the country on June 21, following the cancellation of the initial exam due to a paper leak. Investigations revealed that Telegram had been used to facilitate the leak of the question paper. To prevent a recurrence of such an incident, the government imposed a temporary ban on Telegram, which was lifted on June 22. The app is now functioning normally.
