Downdetector's figures are based on user reports. Telegram has been releasing new features this year, including enhancements introduced in August, such as welcome messages, interactive buttons, and AI bots. The platform faces challenges from government restrictions, particularly in Russia, where authorities have imposed fines on Telegram for non-compliance with local regulations and accused it of harboring illegal content.
