Monday’s Facebook crash was a cause for complaint for many, but Telegram was definitely not one of them. The communicator has recorded a huge increase in new users.
Telegram welcomes new users

Millions of new users were recorded on the same day, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov said. More specifically, it is about the 70 million new accounts registered in the messenger. It is not the first time that Facebook has contributed to the increase in Telegram users. A similar situation occurred in January, when WhatsApp announced the introduction of a new privacy policy.
