Telegram User Base Increases by 2 Million Due to WhatsApp Outage

Telegram’s user base has increased by 2 million due to a disruption in WhatsApp service. This was reported by Izvestia, citing analytical data from Mediascope.

It is noted that on October 25, the average daily traffic of Pavel Durov's messenger reached a record 50 million, up from 48 million.

“It is clear that users have begun to seek alternatives due to WhatsApp’s failure. Telegram gained about 2 million new subscribers, but they stopped logging in in the following days,” said Vladimir Zikov, director of the Association of Professional Users of Social Networks and Messengers.
