Description
Telegram censors notification text even though this feature is disabled. This started occurring a few days ago on my iPad. I did not touch any settings but all messages get censored now. The same is not true for my iPhone signed into the same account with the same settings.
Expected Behavior
The message content should be in the notification.
Actual Behavior
It just says “You have a new message”
Steps to Reproduce
This is not with due to the iOS notification preview censoring since that changes the message to “Message” instead of “You have a new message”. So the issue is due to Telegram internal settings. In Telegram itself the “Message Preview” switch is also enabled (I tried toggling it off and on) for all chats, groups, and channels.
This issue might be related to this bug report although for me this only started happening a few days ago — potentially with the release of the latest AppStore version of the app.

Environment
Device: iPad 12.9 with FaceID first generation
iOS version: 16.1 beta
App version: 8.9.1
I have the same question too. Do you have any ideas to solve this problem?
I am not an expert or a developer on this project, but to me this statement
https://github.com/TelegramMessenger/Telegram-iOS/blob/7d335e817a5a67214fa968075f108ba6aad03e37/Telegram/NotificationService/Sources/NotificationService.swift#L516-L520
looks the wrong way around. In my option the locked message should be set if the messages are empty – not un-empty.
Same problem here on a 2nd gen iPad Pro 11” running iOS 17.3
do you have a solution?
Same problem! Already 2 months! Empty notifications. its drain my battery so much!
Now, in 2024, this issue still persists.!!
Yeah, still happening to me on all my devices.
Yeah, I feel the same way. I can't believe that we're the only ones dealing with this problem.
I just reset my notification settings (such a pain to mute all those chats one by one again) and it seems to be fixed now.

Did you do this inside the app or in your phones settings?

In my phone settings.
same issue 2024 yet !
I have the same problem too
sometimes when I restart my phone fixed for me.
Yeah, same here. Sometimes the text is displayed, and sometimes it is not... No matter what, Telegram is prioritizing selling emojis instead of addressing bugs, even years before introducing any subscription "feature."
Same issue here. And these notifications drained my battery.
到现在为止还有这个错误
