Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced that the messaging platform gained 70 million new users during the WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram outage that lasted for several hours. Even before Durov made the announcement via his Telegram channel, users trying to send messages may have noticed the increase in users, with the service slowing down noticeably.
Commenting on the user growth, Durov wrote: “Telegram’s daily growth rate has exceeded the norm and we have welcomed more than 70 million users from other platforms in one day. We are proud of our team’s success during its unprecedented growth as Telegram continues to work flawlessly for the vast majority of our users. I hear.”
While the platform continues to operate under more heavy traffic than usual, Durov stated that users in the United States are the group most affected by this slowdown. Of course, countries other than the United States were also affected by this slowdown to varying degrees.

When Facebook’s systems are restored, it’s unlikely that all new Telegram users will continue to use the service and become active users, but they can keep the app installed for future Facebook outages. Durov asked people to make new users feel welcome on Telegram and linked to his Telegram Tips channel, which showcases some of the powerful features the platform has to offer. He also posted a link that shows you how to transfer chats from WhatsApp to Telegram. . .
