Based on search results, here are a few methods to download files from secured or blocked Telegram channels. These methods involve using a Telegram bot, a file manager, or a screen recording app.

Method 1: Using a Telegram Bot
This method is often cited as the most straightforward for both mobile and desktop users.

Copy the Link: In the secured or blocked channel, find the video or file you want to download. Tap and hold the message to open a menu, then select "Copy Link." If this option is not available, you may need to use a different method.


Find a Bot: Search within Telegram for a bot designed to save restricted content, such as "Save_Restricted_Content" or "SaveRestrictedBot."

Start the Bot: Open a chat with the bot and tap "Start."

Paste the Link: Paste the link you copied from the restricted channel into the bot's chat and send it.

Download the File: The bot should process the link and send you a downloadable version of the file. From there, you can save it to your device's gallery or local storage.


Method 2: Using a File Manager (Android)
This method works by accessing the Telegram cache folder on your device.

Play the Video: Open the secured Telegram channel and fully play the video you wish to download. This action will save the video to your device's cache.

Install a File Manager: You may need a third-party file manager app, as some default apps on newer Android versions may restrict access to the data folder. Search the Google Play Store for a file manager app like "Files by Marc Apps" or "File Manager Plus."

Navigate to the Cache: Open the file manager and go to Internal Storage > Android > data.

Find the Telegram Folder: Locate the folder named org.telegram.messenger and tap on it.

Access the Video: Navigate through the subfolders to find files > Telegram > Telegram Video. All the videos you've watched in Telegram will be stored here. The files may have generic names, so you might need to open them to find the one you want.


Move the File: Copy or move the video file from this folder to a more accessible location, such as your Downloads folder or gallery.

Method 3: Screen Recording
This is the simplest method for videos, though it may not be suitable for other file types like documents.

Use a Screen Recorder: Use your smartphone's built-in screen recording feature or download a third-party app like ApowerREC to record your screen.

Play and Record: Open the Telegram channel and play the video you want to save while the screen recorder is active.

Save the Video: Stop the recording once the video is finished. The recorded video will be saved to your device, and you can edit or share it from there.

Please note: The search results indicate that some of these methods may become obsolete as Telegram updates its security features. Using third-party tools may also carry security risks, so you should use them with caution.
