India, Aug. 4 -- Apple said it temporarily removed Telegram after its review found "content that violates our strict guidelines prohibiting child sexual abuse material." The iPhone maker added that Telegram acted quickly by removing the offending content and banning the user responsible.

The app was subsequently restored to the App Store.

Telegram vanished from App Store search results on Monday, preventing new users from downloading the app on Apple devices. Users who had already installed Telegram reported that the messaging service continued to function normally during the brief outage.
