When I sent a post in my Telegram channel using the option “show the post when online” I couldn’t delete it anymore and it seems this option doesn’t work properly I also tried to send a screen recording of the issue but unfortunately even my normal MP4 video format was not accepted here
Steps to reproduce
Bug Report (Telegram Web – Chrome on Windows)
Title:
Unable to delete a scheduled post with “Show the post when online” option in Telegram Web
Environment:
OS: Windows 10 (x64)
Browser: Google Chrome (latest version)
App: Telegram Web (web.telegram.org)
Preconditions:
User has a Telegram channel where they are admin.
User is logged in to Telegram Web via Chrome on Windows.
Steps to Reproduce:
Open Telegram Web in Chrome on Windows.
Go to a channel where you have admin rights.
Write a new post.
Instead of “Schedule message”, choose the option “Show the post when online”.
After sending, try to delete the post.
Expected Result:
Post should be deletable just like a normal scheduled or sent post.
The “Show when online” feature should either work as intended (show message when recipient is online) or at least allow admin to manage/delete it.
Actual Result:
Post cannot be deleted.
The option seems not to work properly and blocks post management.
Frequency:
Always (100% reproducible)
Severity:
Major (prevents channel admins from managing their posts correctly).
Workaround:
None found. Post remains undeletable once sent with this option.
