On Monday, the Telegram messenger recorded a record increase in the number of new registered users, said the founder of the company Pavel Durov in his channel. On this day, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp were unavailable around the world for several hours.
“The daily growth rate of [the number of new users] of Telegram has exceeded the norm many times over, and in one day we accepted more than 70 million refugees from other platforms,” Durov wrote.
But due to such an influx, some users in America may have faced the fact that the messenger works slower than usual, he added.
At the end, Durov greeted new Telegram users and promised: “We will not let you down at the moment when others let down.”
The material is being supplemented.
