TamTam was launched in 2017 and was promoted as a Russian alternative to Telegram during the first attempt to block Telegram. In 2022, it was officially listed as a domestic substitute for foreign messengers, but it never gained major popularity.
Its closure reflects VK’s shift toward newer platforms like Max.
As for Telegram, there is currently no officially confirmed nationwide ban date, despite ongoing pressure and media reports about possible restrictions and slowdown in services (dns restrictions).
