Telegram has no message content, according to the FBI dossier. There is no way for law enforcement to get in touch with them to pursue a court order. According to Telegram's privacy statement, the app may give the appropriate authorities access to your IP address and phone number for proven terrorist investigations.
The paper, which is dated Jan. 7, 2021, claims to reflect FBI capabilities as of November 2020. iMessage, LINE, Signal, Telegram, Threema, Viber, WeChat, WhatsApp (owned by Meta, a.k.a. Facebook), and Wickr are among the apps listed in the chart (which was acquired by AWS in June).

The step of Telegram phone verification is required for new account registration. Without a phone number, Telegram cannot be used. The SMS verification process Telegram wants you to go through is a necessary evil, in our opinion.
As previously said, depending on where you are in the world, accessing Telegram might be rather difficult, if not impossible. Because many governments have put in place bans to stop its citizens from accessing this chat software, this is the case. Diverse factors have prompted the censoring movement.
