Who reports app outages?

Users are often the first to notice when an app like Telegram isn't working. They report issues through various channels, such as dedicated outage tracking websites like DownDetector, social media, or directly to the app's support. These reports help companies identify and address problems quickly, especially when thousands of users are affected simultaneously across different regions.
