Telegram provides built-in ways to report channels, groups, bots, messages, and other content that appears to violate its rules or local law. This guide is for people who have encountered a genuine issue, such as spam, impersonation, scams, harmful content, or other policy violations. Reporting should be based on what you can actually see in the content, not on disagreement with someone’s opinion or an attempt to target an account.

Start by opening the specific message, channel, group, or bot in the Telegram app. Use the available Report option in the relevant menu and choose the category that best matches the problem. If Telegram asks for more detail, provide a short, factual explanation. Include only information that helps reviewers understand the issue, such as the specific message, the nature of the suspected violation, and any relevant context.

For a channel or group, it is helpful to report the particular posts or messages that show the issue rather than making a vague claim about the whole community. For bots, describe the behaviour you observed, such as unsolicited messages, fraudulent requests, or misleading links. Avoid sharing private information, guessing at someone’s identity, or encouraging other people to submit reports without seeing the same violation themselves.

After submitting a report, Telegram reviews it under its own policies and procedures. A report does not guarantee that an account or post will be removed, and users should not submit repeated reports for the same issue unless there is new, relevant information.

Use the official in-app reporting tools responsibly. Accurate reports help platforms identify real problems while protecting ordinary users and communities from misuse of the reporting system.
