It is not clear what inappropriate content was made available on Telegram, but TechCrunch reported that Apple’s guidelines state apps that facilitate user-generated content must have a method for filtering objectionable material from being posted to the app.

Whatsapp do not allow attaching zip files. I may be a reason. What else it could be? A new wave of secrecy @Apple...

Does Telegram push content to you without your permission?

There is inappropriate content everywhere, always has been. The responsibility has always been with the user whether they accept it or not. There must be a political battle going on behind closed doors!
