Hello Matthias:

You should ask Telegram about that since Canonical has nothing to do in
matters related to the protocol itself. Though the API is public and
everybody can implement its own Telegram Client, the servers and the
protocol are responsibility (and decision) of Telegram people. So, In
this case Canonical cannot do anything about it

Regards.
