telegram ads
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..
I use the Telegram FOSS client from F-Droid. I don't remember seeing any ads in it. There are a lot of them (and 99% are malicious) in the official client though
It does still get updated about once a month, last one was on April 2: https://nekogram.app/changelog
TGFOSS doesn't remove ads. Infact, by the API policies you aren't allowed to do that as a client maintainer.
In a lot of situations this is sadly not plausible. Here it is pretty much as dominant among younger generations as Whatsapp is among the older ones. Like, my uni group has all its communication there: technically could leave, but I would need far more organizational and social skill than I have now. So I just isolate it from private information and treat as public.
Killergram for Android, assuming you've either got a rooted device or LSPatch.
I remember there also being something for Telegram desktop but I can't find it right now.
