Iran has blocked access to a new free voice-messaging feature from the popular messaging app Telegram, just days after it was released in the country.
Telegram completed rolling out its free encrypted voice calls to users globally last week. But in a statement on April 17, the company said mobile operators and home internet providers had begun blocking the new feature the previous day.
