iOS Share Sheet messages reach the recipient but are missing from the sender's chat history

After the recent iOS Share Sheet redesign, messages shared to Telegram may be delivered to the recipient but remain missing from the sender's own chat history.

Recipient-side verification confirms that the messages are delivered successfully and visible to the recipient, despite being absent from the sender's conversation.

The reported cases include plain text, text together with a URL shared from Spring for Twitter, and sometimes a photo with a comment entered in the iOS Share Sheet.

Restarting Telegram does not make the missing outgoing messages appear in the sender's conversation.

Both Telegram and iOS are running the latest public stable releases.

Similar historical issue: Links are not sent when direct sharing to Teleg... #46106 (marked fixed in 11.6), but the symptoms are occurring again in the current release.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Share content to a contact via Telegram's iOS Share Sheet. Reported cases include plain text, text and URL from Spring for Twitter, and sometimes a photo with a comment entered in the Share Sheet.
  2. Check the recipient's conversation and confirm that the recipient can see the shared message.
  3. Check the sender's conversation and observe that the outgoing message is missing.
  4. Restart Telegram and reopen the sender's conversation.
  5. Check whether the outgoing message has appeared in the sender's chat history.

Current result

The recipient can see the shared message, confirming that it was delivered. However, the outgoing message is missing from the sender's own chat history and remains missing after restarting Telegram.

Expected result

Delivered outgoing messages should appear in both participants' chat histories. The sender should be able to see messages shared through the iOS Share Sheet in their own conversation.

Final clarification of the affected content: photos ARE visible in the sender's chat history. The missing outgoing content is tweets, links, or text shared through the iOS Share Sheet. The recipient can see that content, but the sender cannot, even after restarting the Telegram app.

For the earlier photo-with-comment example, please do not interpret it as the photo itself disappearing: photos remain visible. The issue concerns the text/link content.

Corrected summary: shared tweets, links and text are delivered to the recipient but missing from the sender's history after restarting Telegram; photos remain visible.

Additional cross-device observation (same sender account):

1. Share text / a tweet link from the iPhone via the iOS Share Sheet.
2. On that iPhone, the outgoing text/link message is missing from the sender's conversation, even after restarting Telegram.
3. Open Telegram on the MacBook using the SAME sender account: that exact outgoing text/link message IS visible there. The recipient also sees it.
4. After sharing the link, share a photo from the same iPhone. That photo IS visible on the iPhone. On the MacBook, BOTH the earlier text/link share and the later photo share are visible.

Thus the observed discrepancy is specific to the sending iPhone's history for shared text/links; the message is present in the same account's history on macOS. Photos remain visible on both devices.

Suggested corrected title: Shared text/links reach recipients and appear on sender's Mac, but are missing on the sending iPhone.

Would you mind checking from the latest iOS Telegram update 13.1.1 (35634) and letting us know?

The issue is still present on Telegram for iOS 13.1.1 (35634), the build you mentioned. Text/link messages sent through the iOS Share Sheet are delivered to the recipient and are visible on my MacBook under the same sender account, but are still missing from my own chat history on the sending iPhone, even after restarting Telegram. Photos remain visible on both devices.
