How to Report a Channel on Telegram for Abusive Content

1. Identify the Problematic Content

Before reporting, locate specific messages, posts, or media that clearly violate Telegram’s guidelines. Note the date, time, and nature of the abuse (e.g., hate speech, harassment, child exploitation, copyright infringement).

2. Open the Channel or Group

1. Navigate to the public channel or group in the Telegram app (mobile or desktop).
2. Tap the channel/group name at the top to view its profile page.

3. Access the Report Feature

• On Mobile: Tap the three‑dot menu (⋮) in the top‑right corner and select Report.
• On Desktop: Click the three‑dot menu next to the Subscribe or Join button and choose Report.

4. Choose the Appropriate Reason

Telegram will present several categories. Select the one that best matches the violation:

• Spam or Scam
• Child Abuse
• Violence or Dangerous Organizations
• Hate Speech
• Copyright Infringement
• Other Illegal Content

5. Provide Additional Details

When prompted, include any extra context or links to specific messages that illustrate the abuse. Clear, concise information helps Telegram’s moderation team process your report faster.

6. Submit the Report

After selecting the reason and adding details, tap or click Send Report. You’ll receive confirmation that Telegram has received your request.

7. Follow Up if Necessary

Telegram does not provide public updates on individual reports. If the content persists or escalates, you can submit a second report or contact Telegram’s support email at abuse@telegram.org with evidence.

8. Protect Yourself While Reporting

• Do not engage with abusive users directly.
• Keep personal information private.
• Block or mute the channel/group after reporting.

Conclusion

Reporting abusive content helps maintain a safe environment for all Telegram users. By following these steps—identifying the violation, using the built-in report feature, and providing clear details—you can assist Telegram’s team in taking timely action.
