The reason for blocking the "Smart Voting" bot
Several sources close to Telegram reported that the reason for blocking the "Smart Voting" bot was the refusal of app stores to release the latest update of the messenger on their platforms.
Pavel Durov noted that this decision was influenced by Apple and Google whose policies are increasingly covering the Russian Federation and which are forced to obey the requirements of the country's authorities.

Why was it crucial to publish the September Telegram update as soon as possible
The most important thing in this update is hidden under the hood. Earlier, Telegram used the "int32" value storage system (it has been since the launch of the application in 2013), where the range of user IDs, bots, groups and channels is already ending. In this regard, new users would simply lose the opportunity to register in the messenger, and the old ones would lose the opportunity to create groups, channels and bots.
Starting with the 8.1 update, a fundamental restructuring of all storage systems and scripts to "int64" has been done, providing for the expansion of this range. That is why the developers wanted to update Telegram as soon as possible, thus minimizing the risks.
