Telegram is a popular messaging app that is replete with features including media content, usernames and bots.

This is an ideal app to stay connected with your friends, family and colleagues including group chats to voice calls.

However, there is a common issue that telegram users can get is the slow downloading speed when trying to download files.

If you are downloading the important documents or photos, this problem can irritate you.

In this post, I will tell you how to fix the slow download speed on Telegram and how to increase it.

Why is the download speed on Telegram so slow?

The download speed on Telegram is so slow because you are using mobile internet rather than Wi-Fi connection.

The large cache sizes can also result in slow download speeds.

Your download speed will be decreased if you’ve limited your data usage on the application.

In the end, you might be downloading a file that is too big in size.

How to fix slow download speed on Telegram

To fix the slow download speed on Telegram, the first step is to clear the app’s cache.

The next thing to do is to increase your data usage on the app to enable larger and faster downloads.

If you’re on mobile data, try using a Wi-Fi instead.

Lastly, if you’re using a VPN, disconnect it first.

1. Go to the Telegram app and open it.
2. On the bottom bar, tap on “Settings”.

The error message occurs when you try to join a Telegram channel that contains adult content.

After turning on “Disable filtering”, you’ll be able to access blocked channels on Telegram!

To disable it, the only way is to use the desktop version of Telegram instead.

The desktop version of Telegram has additional settings that can be changed.

The settings contain the ability to enable “Disable filtering”.

The sensitive content filter on Telegram is enabled by default.

Therefore, you’ll have to disable the filter in order to access channels that have sensitive content.

If you’re on macOS or Linux, you need to click on “Show all platforms” and download Telegram for your operating system.

A menu icon is available on the top-left corner of Telegram Desktop.

To open it, you need to click on the menu icon.

After clicking on the menu icon, it will open the menu.

The menu contains multiple options.

Step 6. Enable “Disable filtering”

After clicking on “Privacy and Security”, the “Privacy and Security” settings will be opened.

There are several settings such as “Privacy”, “Two-step verification”, “Sensitive content”, and more.

Scroll down until you find the “Sensitive content” setting.

In the “Sensitive content” setting, a “Disable filtering” option will be shown.

By default, the option of “Disable filtering” is disabled.

To bypass the “This channel can’t be displayed because it was used to spread p****graphic content” error on Telegram, you have to enable the option.

To see sensitive content on Telegram, you need to turn on “Disable filtering”.

After turning on “Enabled filtering”, force-close the Telegram app on your phone and re-start it.

After that, try to join the channel that has the “This channel can’t be displayed” error again.

Now, I hope that you will be able to join and view it without any error on both android and iPhone devices.

After enabling “Disable filtering”, the sensitive content filter will be disabled! and you will be able to see it.

Final Words

Telegram has a sensitive content filter that prevents users from joining and viewing channels that contain sensitive content.

Sensitive content can be photos and videos that are not safe for work (NSFW).

To join or see the channels that contain sensitive content, you need to turn off the filter.

However, it can only be done on the desktop version of Telegram and not on the mobile app of Telegram.

Do keep in mind to force-close the Telegram app on your phone and re-open it after turning off the sensitive filter.

Otherwise, the “This channel can’t be displayed because it was used to spread p****graphic content” error will remain present.
