Fix this channel can't be shown on Telegram (2023)

Telegram channels can be a great way to catch up on the latest updates on politics, sports, business, or whatever interests you the most. As a subscriber to the channel, you can participate in discussions, share media content, and meet new people with similar interests. For these reasons, it can be frustrating to find that you can no longer find a channel you love.

If you're wondering what the "This channel can't be displayed" message is all about, you've come to the right place. Read on to find out why you can no longer watch a Telegram channel and how to fix this problem.

This channel cannot be displayed

telegramChannels can be a great platform to share content on a massive scale as the number of subscribers is unlimited. The sheer volume of potential channel members makes it difficult to track all content shared to ensure it's legal and appropriate.

As a result, some members may distribute illegal or explicit content, hacked media, or messages inciting hatred and violence. If Telegram detects that a channel is being used for such activity, it can either hide it from public view or ban it altogether.

If a Telegram channel is deleted, you will see the message "This channel cannot be displayed" when you open it. Depending on the reason, you may be able to change some settings and view the channel content again.

Telegram channel cannot be displayed due to sensitive content

If a channel is used to share sensitive content, Telegram can remove it. Sensitive content mainly refers to images and videos that are unsafe for work.

However, assume that there is no illegal activity taking place on the channel. It might still be active, just not visible. If that's the case, you're probably seeing the "This channel can't be displayed" message because your sensitive content filter is turned on.

If you are over 18 years old, you can disable the filter, after that you can watch and join your desired channel.

Telegram channel cannot be viewed due to country restrictions

Telegram can apply content restrictions to channels originating from countries where content is heavily filtered. As a result, you can only access the channel if you are in that particular country.

A VPN app is most commonly used to bypass these restrictions. The app lets you set your location to almost anywhere in the world, so you can set it as your channel's home country. If you can't access the channel right away, wait a few hours. After Telegram registers the changed IP address, you can join the desired channel.

Some country restrictions imposed by Telegram can be bypassed with a reliable VPN. However, a channel that greets you with the message "This channel cannot be viewed because it violates local laws" is probably hopeless.

These channels often end up spreading hateful, inflammatory, or illegal content. You can still see the channel, but its content will remain inaccessible forever.

Most major online platforms make every effort to moderate the content that is posted. Since some Telegram channels are not created with the best of intentions, it is not surprising that they cannot remain active.

If the methods outlined in this article didn't help you get back to the channel you want, the channel probably disappeared for a good reason. In this case, it is better to stay away from similar channels in the future.
