Telegram, as a communication tool, offers unparalleled security and speed, making it a valuable asset for everyone.
The ecosystem of channels and groups offers a never-ending stream of information and conversation. However, you may have encountered this message before: a notification stating that a channel cannot be displayed due to its use in spreading sensitive content.
You may wonder how to enable sensitive content on telegram, don’t worry, you can easily solve this problem following this article.
Enable Sensive Content
Step 1: Install and Run Telegram Desktop
Visit the Telegram Desktop page, and you can choose either installer or portable version.
Once the download is complete, locate the file in File Explorer.
If it is an installer, you should double-click on it to start the installation process. For the portable version, you should unzip it to a specific directory and then run the executable program within that directory.
Step 2: Log into Your Telegram Account
As the settings synchronize across various platforms, ensure that you log into Telegram Desktop using the same account that you use on other platforms, such as your iPhone and Android.
Step 3: Disable Filtering
Click on the hamburger menu button on the top left of Telegram interface, and then click on Settings.
In Settings window, you’ll find the option Privacy and Security, this is what we want.
Within the pop-up, scroll down until you find the block labeled Sensitive content. There, you will see the option Disable filtering. By default, this option is set to OFF, which is why you are unable to access certain channels. The final step is to toggle the switch for Disable filtering to ON.
Close the pop-up window, return to previously unaccessable channels, you’ll find the message is gone.
Now you’ve granted the access to channels containing sensitive content. If the message still shows in certain channel, it doesn’t mean that you’re blocked again, it’s the channel itself being blocked.
What if you wish to revert to the default setting? Simply follow the same path as before and enable filtering, as previously instructed — but I bet you won’t do that.
Wrapping Up
Telegram is a powerful tool that gives you ample freedom. You can easily enable sensitive content by following this guide. But please bear in mind that you’re responsible for yourself, and we strongly recommend you to think twice before acting.
