If Telegram only allows you to send messages to mutual contacts, it means your account has been restricted due to previous activity, security concerns, or the use of a virtual number. This restriction prevents you from messaging people who haven’t saved your number in their contacts.
The most common reason for this issue is that Telegram flagged your account due to spam-like behavior, such as sending too many messages to unknown contacts or being reported by other users. In some cases, using a temporary or virtual number can also trigger these restrictions.
To fix this, you can try contacting Telegram support. Open the Telegram app, go to Settings, then tap Ask a Question or Ask a Volunteer to get assistance. Explain your issue and request that your account be reviewed. Sometimes, restrictions are temporary and may be lifted automatically after a certain period, so waiting for a few days might resolve the issue on its own.
If the restriction is not removed, you may need to create a new Telegram account using a different phone number. Be sure to follow Telegram’s guidelines to avoid similar restrictions in the future.
