Telegram CEO blames Apple’s App Store review process for delay in update

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov blamed Apple for its obscure App Store review process that is delaying the encrypted messaging platform from releasing an update to its app that will “revolutionise how people express themselves in messaging”.

In his Telegram channel, Durov said the upcoming update had been stuck in Apple’s “review” for two weeks.

“The only thing that we find discouraging is that we are often unable to distribute the new versions of Telegram due to the obscure ‘review process’ imposed on all mobile apps by the tech monopolies,” Durov said.
