Doing this will turn off the signals on your smartphone and refresh your internet connection in seconds. You can enable/disable the Airplane Mode ✈️ on your smartphone from the phone’s Notification Panel and Control Panel.

Let’s now check the first solution to fix the Telegram messages not sending or showing issues.

 

1. Check Your Internet Connection Speed

Like other instant messaging platforms, Telegram also needs an internet connection to send and receive new messages. It could be possible that your device isn’t connected to an active internet, which is why you’re unable to send messages to other users on Telegram.

You need to make sure that your smartphone or PC is connected to an active and stable internet connection. To ensure this, we suggest testing your internet connection speed using the Speedtest tool by Ookla.

2. Check the Telegram Server Status

If your device is connected to an active internet connection and the problem still occurs, then the issue seems to be with the Telegram cloud servers. It could be possible that the Telegram servers are currently facing some technical problems, which is why some of Telegram’s features aren’t functioning properly. To ensure whether this is true or not, you can try checking Telegram’s server Status.

Doing so will help you determine if others are facing the same issue. You can check the current server status at DownDetector.com. If other users face the same issue, you don’t need to follow other workarounds. This is because the issue isn’t occurring from your end. You can sit and relax until the issue gets fixed.

3. Disable Data Saver Mode

When we enable the Data Saver Mode 🔛, it doesn’t let the apps running in the background use the phone’s mobile data without any restrictions.

So, if you’re using Telegram when the Data Saver Mode is enabled, consider disabling it (📴) immediately. Doing this might resolve the issue. You can refer to the below-mentioned steps to learn the process of disabling Data Saver Mode on both Android and iOS:
