Telegram, the Secure Alternative to Whatsapp, is Down in Pakistan

Telegram is currently experiencing problems in Pakistan. The web version of Telegram (similar to WhatsApp Web) is inaccessible right now. What’s more, the website is also inaccessible while the Windows phone app is also not working.

Telegram has been offline since last night (around 13 hours) in Pakistan and millions of users aren’t able to access the service.

Not The First Time

Last month Telegram went offline due to one of their data centres in Singapore being under maintenance. This time it’s unclear what’s hindering access to Telegram because upon our investigation, Telegram is only non-functional in Pakistan, the webpage and the app is working fine in other countries.

Telegram hasn’t reported any maintenances or server problems and we expect that the issue is internal and the route to Telegram might be blocked by Pakistani authorities.
