An alternative client has been linked to hanging updates iOS 26.4.1, although there is no direct evidence of the reason yet.
The night installation of iOS 26.4.1 in some iPhone owners ended equally unpleasantly: the smartphone tried to update, the process broke off, and then the device stopped loading normally. A new wave of discussions rose after the publication of the blogger, who decided to check the version of the connection of the failure with the Telega application and simultaneously updated three different iPhones. According to him, two smartphones completed the installation without problems, and the device with Telega after more than ten hours could not start.
The version sounds alarming, but so far remains the version. An open technical review that would prove that Telega is directly breaking the iOS 26.4.1 update at the time of publication. Messages of service centers and individual observations indicate a repeating scenario, but there is not enough for a rigid withdrawal of such a base.
At the same time, the background of history for Telega has long been dysfunctional. On April 9, the app disappeared from the App Store. At the same time, it became known that the working domains of the project received a mark spyware, and the revocation of the TLS certificate hit the trust in the service and actually knocked the client out of the Apple ecosystem.
Later, Telegram began testing a public mark for accounts that are included through third-party clients. The meaning of the warning is extremely direct: an informal application can reduce the security of correspondence. Against this background, any su
Even earlier, SecurityLab wrote about the technical analysis of Telega, the authors of which stated the signs of MITM-interception of traffic. The developers of Telega denied the accusations and claimed that the service uses the official Telegram API and the regular MTProto protocol, but the reputational blow was serious.
On April 17, the situation for iPhone owners became even tougher. Apple has started to warn that Telega contains malicious code, block the launch of an already installed customer, and offer to remove the application. The Telega team called such a reaction a consequence of the erroneous classification, but for the average user the difference between a “controversial reputation” and system lock on the part of iOS is almost disappearing.
Therefore, the main conclusion still looks like this. The direct link between Telega and hanging after iOS 26.4.1 iPhone has not yet been proven, but too many alarm signals have already gathered around the app itself. If Telega is still installed on the iPhone, delaying the desk in the hope that the problem will dissolve by itself, looks like a bad idea. Before any update of the system, the owners of such devices should keep a backup of data.
