Telegram Restricted Channel Access Fix

If you’re wondering what the “This channel can’t be displayed” message is all about, you’ve come to the right place. Keep reading to learn why you can no longer see a Telegram channel and how you can fix this issue.

Telegram Channel Can’t Be Displayed Because of Sensitive Content ( Erotic..)

The TG channel is just hidden from the general view. If that’s the case, you’re probably seeing the “This channel can’t be displayed” message because your sensitive content filter is enabled.

If you’re over 18, you can turn the filter off, after which you should be able to view and join the desired channel.

Fix Method 1 – Web ( Computer )

Fix 1: Turn Off Content Filtering

Telegram cares deeply about your privacy, so they’ve added a tool called “filtering” to help you control what you see.

This tool can hide certain types of content from your view. If you turn it off, Telegram will show you more things, including content that was hidden before.

To Do This, Follow These Steps:

  1. Open Telegram on your computer.
  2. In the top left corner, you’ll see three horizontal lines. Click on them.
  3. From the menu that pops up, select “Settings”.
  4. In the “Settings” tab, choose “Privacy and Security”.
  5. You’ll see a list of features. Look for “disable filtering” and click on it to turn it off.
  6. This should give you access to more content. 

Fix Method 2 – Nicegram Bot

Telegram This Channel Can’t Be Displayed Because It Was Used to Spread – Android

A message warning you about explicit subject matter shared in a Telegram channel will block you from being able to view its content. You can disable your sensitive content filter if you’re adamant about accessing that channel.

A feature called the Nicegram Bot might be able to help you in your endeavor. You can contact this bot a couple of ways.

  • By typing “Nicegram bot” in the Telegram search bar and tapping the option with “bot” written under its name
  • Following this link

Once the Nicegram Bot chat has launched, follow these steps to turn off your sensitivity filter.

  1. Tap the “Start” button at the bottom of your screen.
  1. If you don’t see any options at the bottom, click on the link under “Nicegram Web.”
  2. Select the “Log in with Telegram” option.
  1. Toggle both the “I’m 18+ years old” and “Show content that may be sensitive” options on.
  2. Hit “Save” to complete the process.

A pop-up message will then prompt you to restart the Nicegram Bot. For the changes to take effect, you should restart the Telegram app by force-closing it.

If this is the first time you’re using Telegram Widgets, you’ll have to authorize the log-in before turning the filter off.

After successfully completing the process and relaunching the app, check if the previously inaccessible content is now visible. If not, you can try the alternative approach to disabling the filter.

Unfortunately, this can’t be done using your Android device. Instead, you’ll need to access the Telegram web or desktop client.

  1. Click the three horizontal icon in the upper-left corner.
  2. Select “Settings” from the overflow menu.
  1. Press the “Privacy and Security” icon.
  2. Scroll down to the “Sensitive content” section.
  1. Tap the “Disable filtering” box to turn it on.

Now go back to your smartphone and check if the channel is there.
