VPN for Telegram on iPhone — stable chats on filtered networks
When Telegram is slow or blocked, FollowNet can open another protocol path (Smart Connect, AmneziaWG, Hysteria2, VLESS Reality) on iOS — or Chrome for Telegram Web.
What to know
Messaging needs a stable tunnel more than max Mbps. Try Smart / Restricted first; pin a working protocol in a Network Profile for that carrier.
How to use it
Smart Connect → if chat still stalls, AmneziaWG or VLESS → closer server → Speed Test for latency/jitter.
Limits and honest expectations
VPN does not replace Telegram’s own encryption or account rules. Results depend on local network policy.
