Improved reporting interface
Updated complaint handling method
Telegram deletes millions of messages every day that violate rules.
Since 2015, users can inform moderators about such messages.
In order for moderators to process complaints faster and more efficiently, the Telegram team has improved the reporting system. More detailed options for each category are now available in the reports menu. The list of reasons for submitting reports is now dynamically updated, which allows us to offer the most relevant options in real time, tracking the latest events and trends.
To send a message, tap on Android, hold on iOS, or right-click on the desktop or on the Internet and select "Report".
