Telegram briefly vanished from Apple’s App Store.

After a few hours, the app reappeared around 10:45PM ET. Apple issued the following statement:

We briefly removed Telegram from the App Store after our review found content that violates our strict guidelines prohibiting child sexual abuse material. The app was subsequently restored after the developer promptly removed the content and banned the user who posted it.

Telegram, in response:

Update: Added Apple and Telegram statements.
