Links From Non-Contacts No Longer Work in Telegram for iOS and macOS
In the latest versions of Telegram for iOS and macOS, links received from unknown users in private chats are displayed as plain text — they are not highlighted and cannot be clicked.
This behavior appears to be an intentional security measure by Telegram to protect users from scams and malicious content.
To make a link functional again, you can:
• Add the sender to your contacts
• Dismiss the banner with action buttons at the top of the chat
• Forward the message to your “Saved Messages” — the link will become clickable there
This change has not been officially documented in Telegram’s changelogs, but it aligns with broader efforts to reduce spam and phishing attempts on the platform.
