Always Follow Telegram’s Terms and Conditions
It doesn’t matter if it’s Telegram or any other software or app you’re using, it’s always important to follow all of its Terms of Service. Some people simply skip the part because they don’t feel like it’s important.
But reading this page can help a lot to know what you’re allowed and not allowed to post on your channel or message in Telegram.
According to the Terms of Service of Telegram, it is strictly against their policies to use messages to spam other users, use NSFW content, piracy, and promote violence, and other negative intentions.
It means that you have to avoid or remove these if you’re the channel admin. Once again, you can’t do much about this issue if you’re just a viewer.
Update Your System
Updating your system may also help you get rid of the error message.
Update Telegram App
An older Telegram app version may encounter issues like error codes and messages. Updating the app might eliminate the issue.
Contact Telegram Customer Support
If everything else fails, you can always seek further assistance from the support team of the Telegram app.
More often than not, ‘This Message Couldn’t be Displayed on your Device Due to Copyright Infringement’ on Telegram only means that the content was illegal or inappropriate in one way or another. Most of the time, you can’t do anything but just let it be rather than try to fix it.
