As Telegram ads are getting more misleading and dangerous than ever (specially crypto ads) just wanted to know is there a way to block them? I’m mostly worried for my more elderly family members getting affected

Use the open source client on fdroid
I haven’t used telegram, but in general this is the correct solution.
I don’t think there is a Foss client on fdroid at least that blocks ads
There sure is:
I use the Telegram FOSS client from F-Droid. I don’t remember seeing any ads in it. There are a lot of them (and 99% are malicious) in the official client though
What about desktop?
No idea
have you tried nekogram?
Doesn’t get updated anymore
It does still get updated about once a month, last one was on April 2: https://nekogram.app/changelog
And?
This hard on for updates is exasperating. Does it still work?
They don’t block Ads ( speaking from experience )
Telegram Ads aren’t that terrible if you ask me, they’re not behavioral, and easy to ignore…
I see no ads using the open source client.
