NSFW on iOS Telegram@inclined

• All TG X versions after 242 have blocked NSFW channels/chats. Listed below are a few different ways to bypass these restrictions:

Table of Contents

Website

Jailbreak

Third-Party Client

App Store downgrade (difficult, no jailbreak)

Sideloading (deprecated)

App Store download (requires jailbreak)

Option 1:

Website

Basically, log into Telegram from web.telegram.org and you'll be able to browse and chat in NSFW chats and channels from your browser of choice.

======================Option 2:

Jailbreak

If you're on Telegram 5.x:As of 10/2/18, the app has been updated to 5.x and has switched from the Obj-C client to the Swift client. However, this means tweaks meant for version 4.9.2 and below will not work on 5.x.If you would like to access restricted channels/chats on version 5.x, download the tweak "NSFWgram" from cydia.wuffs.org (click to add the repo). Protip: if you would like to access restricted channels on the stable client, as well as Telegram X, navigate to:

/Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries/nsfwgram.plist.

Then navigate from Root to Filter to Bundles, then add a new value. Add these values (as separate items):

org.telegram.TelegramHD

(HockeyApp Telegram X)

org.telegram.Telegram-iOS

(App Store Telegram X)Then click save. Force close and restart the app/s and you'll be able to access restricted channels/chats on Telegram X, as well as stable Telegram. The same methodology applies to any other Telegram client you want to add (as long as the client is based on 5.x or higher).If you're using Telegram 4.9.2 or lower: Add the repo: stek29.rocks/cyrepo

(or click the link here)And install Telehancer. Then, navigate to Telegram settings > Telenhancer > turn on "NeverExplicit".

ORInstall the tweak "Telexplicit" by iDeviceTeam from the BigBoss repo. (Both will accomplish the same thing.)

======================Option 3:

Third-Party Client

You can use a third party client that follows Apple's rules to allow you to view restricted chats. My go-to client is Nicegram as it is open source and I trust the developer, but this is subject to change.

======================Option 4:

Downgrading And Sideloading

(without a jailbreak)

This method is very cumbersome and requires the use of a computer, but will work without a jailbreak and without having to resign the app.Basically, we're going to be downloading an older version of Telegram X that will be signed to your Apple ID, and installing it via iTunes. Tutorial:https://medium.com/@0r4ng3.r41n/how-to-downgrade-ios-apps-using-itunes-a33ebe08e3b8Older version of iTunes can be downloaded from here:https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT208079The app version you're going to be looking for is 5.0.2.

======================Option 5:

Sideloading

This method is a little more cumbersome, time consuming, and may not work but it's much more streamlined. Unfortunately, 239 from HockeyApp uses old API and therefore, will not be able to display Telegram chats, making it worthless. https://t.me/tgiostests/29127https://t.me/tgiostests/31017 Using this IPA will work. But it is extremely outdated and will give you a constant nag to update. Not recommended! EDIT 5/28/18:https://t.me/tgiostests/35004

======================Option 6:

Redownloading TG X from App Store

Open the App Store app. Navigate to "Updates" > "Purchased" > and scroll down until you find the listing for Telegram X. Download it and you'll be able to view NSFW/blocked channels.EDIT 6/1/18: THIS METHOD IS OFFICIALLY DEAD. Telegram X in the App Store has been updated and now blocks restricted chats from being viewed. If you are not jailbroken, DO NOT UPDATE. If you do, you will have to resort to using Option 4. If you updated the app but are jailbroken, you can use App Admin by UnlimApps to downgrade the app to version 5.0.2.
