Description

I've been frequently encountering an issue with the Telegram iOS app over the past year: the comments in channels often fail to load properly until I force-close and re-open the app.

It appears that some other users have also encountered similar issues：https://www.reddit.com/r/Telegram/comments/119sbj2/for_the_past_week_comments_refuse_to_load_most_of/

This issue has persisted for a long time across various iOS versions. This also happens with third-party Telegram apps, such as Swiftgram. I suspect it's a server-side issue specific to iOS clients.
