The most common cause of this error is an unstable or weak internet connection. However, incorrect proxy settings, VPN configurations, or rare server-side problems can also trigger it. Note: We used an Infinix device for the screenshots. If you are using a Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, or any other device, the names for certain settings may differ slightly. You can find them with a simple Google search.
1. Check Server Status
2. Use a VPN
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) provides a secure and private network, allowing users to run the app from different locations across the globe. It helps check error consistency across different servers. You can also use Telegram via VPN if the app is banned in your country. VPN routes your internet connection through different servers, bypassing any local restrictions or network blocks that may be causing this error.
3. Reboot Your Internet Router
Rebooting your internet router can resolve poor and slow network connections. This step also helps clear the network cache and improve the router’s overall performance. If rebooting your router does not resolve the issue, consider using mobile data over a Wi-Fi connection
4. Update Telegram
Using an outdated version of Telegram can cause issues. App updates usually fix bugs and introduce new features compatible with the device’s system software.
5. Disable Airplane Mode
Airplane mode turns off all connectivity on your device. Turning it on and off can make your Wi-Fi or mobile data work more effectively.
6. Set Your Date And Time Zone
Incorrect times can affect app data syncing, causing mismatched timestamps and login issues. Setting your date and time zone to automatic can prevent these problems.
7. Clear Cache
App data corruption can cause errors. Apps store temporary data in cache files, which can become corrupted. Clearing the cache can resolve these errors.
8. Turn On Background Data
Telegram needs access to background data to receive messages when it is not actively being used. Enabling background data improves performance and syncing.
9. Allow Telegram Necessary Permissions
Denying necessary permissions can obstruct an app’s functionality. Make sure Telegram has access to the necessary permissions like the camera, files, contacts, and storage.
10. Disable Battery Optimization
Battery optimization can limit an app’s functionality to save battery, causing Telegram to get stuck. Disabling this can allow the app to run properly in the background.
11. Reset Your Network Settings
Resetting your network settings can re-establish connections and resolve any faulty settings. If the error continues, try contacting Telegram’s support.
