On the afternoon of July 9, 2025, many internet users in Vietnam were surprised to share that they could access the Telegram application normally without using VPN or blocking bypass tools. This development quickly became a hot topic on social media, as the encrypted messaging platform had previously been restricted for over a month.
Some users reported that they could log into Telegram using WiFi networks, while 4G and 5G connections were still experiencing errors or unable to access. This led many to doubt whether the application's accessibility was the result of network configuration changes or just a temporary technical glitch from telecommunications service providers.
As of the end of July 9, there were no official announcements from authorities or major telecom operators in Vietnam regarding any changes in policy related to Telegram. The successful access in some areas is being closely monitored by the online community, while many other users still cannot use the application normally.
Previously, at the end of May 2025, Telegram had experienced inaccessibility in Vietnam, forcing users to use solutions like VPN to maintain communication. At that time, many sources suggested that the restriction was related to requirements from authorities about controlling the platform's activities in the country.
