As Telegram ads are getting more misleading and dangerous than ever (specially crypto ads) just wanted to know is there a way to block them? I'm mostly worried for my more elderly family members getting affected

They don't block Ads ( speaking from experience )

Telegram Ads aren't that terrible if you ask me, they're not behavioral, and easy to ignore..
