Will the delta.chat domain be added to the block list by the end of summer?
Volume~$88
YES chance
DescriptionDelta Chat's popularity in Russia surged sharply amid the "mobile shutdowns" in May 2026. Earlier, in 2024, the messenger’s developer had already been fined by Roskomnadzor for refusing to register with the ORI registry. Although it is extremely difficult to block the messaging technology itself, the regulator can restrict access to the project’s official website and public registration servers (chatmail). The question is whether Roskomnadzor will add the main domain delta.chat to the list of banned resources in the Russian Federation by fall.
ConditionsYes: if, by August 31, 2026 (inclusive), the main domain delta.chat is officially added by Roskomnadzor to the registry of banned resources.
No: if, by the end of August 2026, the messenger’s main domain remains formally accessible (not on the registry), even if the service’s operation is technically hindered.
