Telegram Tests In-App “Fact Check” Feature to Combat Misinformation

Telegram News 2025-06-30 Create

Telegram is beta testing a built-in “Fact Check” panel on Android to counter disinformation. The feature automatically adds a banner under flagged posts – like a false claim about Telegram leaving Russia – showing a refutation from partner agencies. Checks are sourced based on user geolocation (e.g., Russian numbers see Russian agencies). The banner provides context without hiding the original post. Partner agencies and encrypted chat functionality remain undisclosed.
