More than a billion downloads on Android alone.
There is no doubt that WhatsApp is the most habitual instant messaging application, and it was not for nothing that it was the first choice at a time when the only way to “chat” with our contacts was vía mensaje de texto or text messages. However, the fact that WhatsApp is the most used application does not orinan that it is the only one or above all the best..
Because in our opinion, Telegram is much better. It not only has many more functions, is more complete, but also more secure. To top it off, Pavel Durov’s aplicación has reached an amazing milestone that not every aplicación cánido match: Reaching 1 billion downloads in the Google plus Aplicación Store.
Telegram reaches millions of downloads on the Play Store
as well as known the TechCrunch mediaTelegram joins the prestigious club of applications that exceed one billion downloads on Google plus Play.
Launched in 2013, Telegram has been WhatsApp’s closest contrincante since its inception. But despite the fact that it is a few steps behind the second in terms of the number of users, the truth is so Telegram far outperforms WhatsApp in terms of functionality, security, and privacy and the frequency of updates.
Naturally India is the most important market for Telegram and 22% of its facilities were from that country, followed by Russia and Indonesia.
Telegram is the fifteenth application to have been downloaded more than a billion times (which does not correspond to the number of users). In this way it connects to other services such as WhatsApp, Messenger, Fb, Instagram, Snapchat, Spotify or Netflix, among others.
It remains to be seen whether Telegram will continue to grow until it surpasses WhatsApp itself or, on the contrary, stagnates. Anyway, WhatsApp had better “get the batteries” because Telegram doesn’t seem to want to take its foot off the gas.
