Apple held up a Telegram update over emojis

Telegram's latest update went live on iOS on Friday, 12 August 2022, after the company's CEO, Pavel Durov, claimed that Apple was preventing its release "without explanation".

Durov has now revealed that Apple had held up the update as it wanted a specific emoji feature removed.

I still own an apple 6 with IOS 10. It's so out of date even WhatsApp won't update any more. When it eventually dies I will not buy another. Golden handcuffs.

Easy to arrange for it to die quickly, then you can move on.

WTF is an apple 6? And if you mean iPhone 6, why don't you update it to iOS 12 that is supported by WhatsApp?

I'm happy with the level of spyware running already. No upgrades required.
