Telegram

Based on recent customer reviews, Telegram is drawing significant criticism from South African users, with a recurring theme centred on account security failures and unresponsive support. Customers consistently mention being hacked, losing access to their accounts, and receiving verification codes on devices they do not control. Many describe sending repeated emails without any reply, leaving them unable to recover accounts used for school groups, business communication, and personal contacts. A small portion of feedback acknowledges the platform's value for team collaboration, but this is overshadowed by widespread frustration with safety and service.
