Telegram is a popular social media platform. Telegram has a feature called “Sensitive Content filter”, which allows users to control the visibility of inappropriate, offensive, or harassing content in Telegram chats and groups. In this article, I have shared how to enable sensitive content on Telegram on Android, iPhone and Desktop.

When the Sensitive Content filter is enabled in Telegram, Telegram blocks all sensitive contents, like graphic or disturbing media and adult or explicit content, from being displayed. This Sensitive Content filter is available on Android as well as iOS (iPhone) and desktop.

If Sensitive Contents are blocked in your Telegram app due to which Blurry thumbnails and Content warnings (“this channel cannot be displayed”) are showing up, then you can access Sensitive Content in Telegram by enabling it. For this, you follow the steps given below.
