Was having a really good experience with the application. No lag time between messages or photos. Then get a message somewhere else asking me why was I blocking them. When through thing's couldn't figure it out. Uninstalled and reinstalled application (nice thing is you keep all your contacts) still not working. Decided ok just delete and start fresh. To my surprise when I go to setup my new account my phone number has been banned with no explanation or way to contact anyone for an explanation.

Sorry for the inconvenience. If your account is frozen, please send an appeal in Telegram. If the phone is banned, contact recover@telegram.org. Include phone number + country code, and details. Never share your code with anyone, use official apps, and ensure your devices are secured. Numbers can be unbanned if the case is a false positive.

The app works well, but their major monetization hook is: if you don't pay for premium, you have to allow any random person to message you. I generally have to block around one scammer a day. If I could only allow contacts to message me, it would be five stars. But monetizing by making people be vulnerable to scams and harassment unless they buy premium is a terrible business strategy.

I'm experiencing a very weird bug were a contact of mine is duplicated, tells me it's on telegram, when I know the contact in fact IS there, and it then switches the name to "mod####". Now, I really hope security is up date on your end, because it would be a bummer to find out otherwise, and have my device in a vulnerable state for this reason. Also, it's scary! Please look into this, and take it seriously! Thank you!
