How do I troubleshoot Telegram issues?

1
Check your internet connection
Ensure you have a stable connection. Try loading other apps or websites to rule out local network issues.
2
Toggle airplane mode or restart app
Force Telegram to reconnect by enabling airplane mode for 10 seconds, then disabling it. Or force-quit and restart the app.
3
Try Telegram Web or Desktop
If the mobile app isn't working, try web.telegram.org or the desktop client to see if the issue is device-specific.
4
Switch between WiFi and mobile data
Some networks or ISPs block Telegram. Try switching networks to determine if it's a connectivity restriction.
5
Clear app cache (Android)
On Android, go to Settings > Apps > Telegram > Storage > Clear Cache. This can resolve sync and loading issues.
