The company said it restored the app after "the developer promptly removed the content and banned the user who posted it." Telegram said on X: "Reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated."
An Apple spokesperson did not respond to a request for further comment on the guidelines violation. Telegram also did not respond to a request for comment.
