The title of this article is quite clear and we have to give the congratulations to Telegram for reaching XNUMX billion global downloads, an amount of downloads that is available to few but that in turn in Telegram has double value because it is an app with really strong competitors such as WhatsApp, WeChat and others.
TechCrunch, echoes the news published by Senso Tower and this report indicates a very high growth during the first half of this year, exceeding by more than 60% the total growth during the same period of the previous year.
WhatsApp is partly to blame for this number of downloads
In our country, the privacy policies of WhatsApp directly affected the growth of Telegram downloads, but as we always say, this does not mean that users end up using this app for their day to day, many of them simply downloaded it. and they left at the same time ... But many of these users ended up using the messaging application in some way or another, remaining as a main messaging app.
On the other hand countries like India, Russia or Indonesia are the places where the most users have downloaded this application of courier in recent times. Many of you already know that we are users of this popular messaging application and that even we have a group with more than 1000 users in which we share personal experiences with all of you, something that we really like to do and that also does not require any subscription or payment for access.
Now Telegram joins the applications that have already reached this number of downloads such as Netflix, Spotify, Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp, among others.
From what I have read making comparisons for more than 2 years, Telegram = Whatsapp, it does not come out of anything.
I think the best solution is Signal, with fewer features, but that means more privacy.
