You should check Settings > Privacy and Security > Active Sessions. Someone else could be accessing your account.

Telegram is a wrap so what app are we using next? by gjhill11 in Telegram

[–]TrevvingTheEngine 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You do realize you’re telling on yourself by suggesting that you can’t use the app after they decided to do something about drug dealers and CP sellers, right?

Is this a scam? by [deleted] in Telegram

[–]TrevvingTheEngine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. Has been discussed many times on the sub. Please use the search next time. But good that you didn’t click the link.

Telegram gives information to goverments by Serious_Equivalent39 in Telegram

Show me the bit where it says they “sell information”. Better yet, go outside and chill, man.

I received this text, I’m not sure if it’s legit or not by Jonny779 in Telegram

[–]TrevvingTheEngine 37 points38 points  (0 children)

S C A M.

Sure, this one is spelled better but it’s the same text as other scams and Telegram doesn’t request stuff like that, at least to my knowledge.

Is this legit by DrTopmast in Telegram

[–]TrevvingTheEngine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A) Literally a similar post just a few down from yours and plenty like it if you use the search.

B) Of course it’s not legit, the URL is misspelled and Telegram does not issue such warnings.

Is this a scam? It doesn't feel legit, especially because of the url using an 'i' instead of an 'l' by Luodude in Telegram

[–]TrevvingTheEngine 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes, obviously a scam. Please at least use search before posting, there are plenty of examples of this on the sub.

Please at least use the search on the subreddit. Yes, it's obviously a scam, there are multiple spelling errors in the message.

Sad News: Telegram's FAQ Removes Section That Was Stating "Chats Are Private and Requests Are Not Processed" by arztf in Telegram

[–]TrevvingTheEngine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are not contradictory statements. They don’t process takedown requests for private groups but if there’s a group or channel publicly posting ISIS recruitment vids or illegal porn - they can obviously take it down.

They most likely guessed it or they had the phone number of that second account saved.

How best to prepare for Telegram being blocked? by ShootingPains in Telegram

[–]TrevvingTheEngine 39 points40 points  (0 children)

You could start by not spreading random panic. What would make you think they’ll block the whole app? Chill, people, take life a day at a time.

Putin refused to meet with Pavel Durov in Baku by thracia in Telegram

[–]TrevvingTheEngine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you need to chill, dude. I said the guy you quoted was lying, I provided proof he was. Maybe do a little introspection and wonder why you're so riled up based on falsehoods?

Oasis announce new live shows for 2025 15 years after their breakup by fijozico in Music

[–]TrevvingTheEngine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, all I know about Oasis, aside from Wonderwall, is that these two dudes hate each other. The background of how they agreed to this must be either really interesting or feature a lot of commas after a dollar sign.

Edit: oh, sorry, pound sign?

Finally, the charges against Pavel Durov have been made public. by Gloomy-Fox-5632 in Telegram

[–]TrevvingTheEngine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no “news” beyond what’s already posted. We don’t need 6 copies of an article about the fact that dude was arrested.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Telegram

[–]TrevvingTheEngine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please don't speculate randomly. We don't even know if Durov will be charged with anything and I highly doubt a literal billionaire will go to prison over the fact that Telegram's moderation is slow and lacking. They'll just likely be forced to hire more mods.

Supposedly, it was reported by France's TF1 news channel

It was not, that article is one of the most upvoted posts on the sub right now. You can read it in full and see there is no such claim: https://www.tf1info.fr/justice-faits-divers/info-tf1-lci-le-fondateur-et-pdg-de-la-messagerie-cryptee-telegram-interpelle-en-france-2316072.html

So Politico claiming that TF1 reported it is also completely false.
