Telegram Disappears from Apple App Store Search Results in South Korea and Possibly U.S.

Telegram's messaging app has vanished from Apple App Store search results in South Korea and possibly the U.S., sparking concerns about its availability and potential impact on the crypto market. The issue was first noticed by community members on platforms like X and Reddit.

The removal of Telegram from the South Korean App Store search yields no results, while direct links to the app still work. In the U.S., users have reported similar issues with searching for 'Telegram' in the Apple App Store.

The cause of the disappearance remains unclear, but it could be a technical glitch, a compliance action, or a regional restriction.

The GRAM token (formerly TON) has reacted to the news with a 6.79% price drop in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. The token's price is currently trading at $1.31.
