Still shows for me in the US. I downloaded it previously but don't have it installed.

It was only removed for a few hours . It is back up again

Telegram was removed from apps store. Reason currently unknown

still appears if you are in their testflight beta… weird

EDIT: apparently restored to appstore according to various sources.

Honestly, so much illegal stuff happen on Telegram, I'm surprised they didn't remove it earlier.

Then they would also need to remove X/Twitter for same reason.
