After close to two months since its last major disruption, Telegram is down again.

The "Downdetector" site showed a spike in outages at around 10:15pm Singapore time.

By around 11pm, around 7,000 users from around the world reported instances of outages.

From Twitter, the service appears to be down for regions such as Indonesia, India, Myanmar, Taiwan, Australia, Germany, and the U.S..

At the time of writing, Telegram on Twitter has not addressed the matter yet.
