Pavel Durov has said that a Telegram update is ready, but its release has been delayed due to a lengthy Apple review.
According to the CEO of Telegram, the update has been in moderation for a week, although the company assures it normally takes around 24 hours.
Nevertheless, Pavel reminded that tomorrow a new list of Digital Markets Act laws will come into force in the European Union, which will significantly restrict monopolists like Google and Apple.
Finally, Durov asked all developers who had been affected by the App Store and Google Play to write to [email protected] and tell about the incidents.
