What is happening

1. 2026-08-19 07:30 UTC

   The problem is back: t.me links. This is episode 6 of the same incident — the previous one closed less than an hour ago, so we are not opening a separate record. The component keeps flapping.

   The failure has spread: media delivery stopped responding too. Currently affected: media delivery, t.me links, web app.

   Recovered: t.me links, web app have been responding normally for 5 cycles in a row. The incident lasted 48 min. If it still does not work for you, the cause is no longer Telegram.

   Confirmed by 2 independent vantage points. Telegram is responding with errors: t.me links, web app. 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.

   The problem is back: t.me links. This is episode 3 of the same incident — the previous one closed less than an hour ago, so we are not opening a separate record. The component keeps flapping.

8. 2026-08-19 05:50 UTC

   The problem is back: t.me links. This is episode 2 of the same incident — the previous one closed less than an hour ago, so we are not opening a separate record. The component keeps flapping.

   The signs were not confirmed. For 15 minutes no second independent vantage point saw the problem, so we are closing this watch. Telegram is working.

10. 2026-08-19 05:18 UTC

    We are seeing signs of trouble: t.me links, web app. 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.

What it was

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