We are seeing signs of trouble: t.me links. So far only one vantage point out of three reports it, so we are not calling it an outage — we are checking. If Telegram does not open for you, wait a few minutes and try again: the state on this page is recalculated every minute.

Confirmed by 2 independent vantage points. Telegram is responding with errors: t.me links. Some requests go through and some do not, which is why it works for some people and not for others. If a message fails to send, try again in a minute; there is no need to reinstall the app.

What it was
We do not name a cause: we have availability measurements, not access to Telegram's infrastructure.
