Telegram to Hit One Billion Users in a Year – Latest Tech News
Telegram, the messaging app founded by Pavel Durov, is rapidly gaining popularity around the world. With 900 million active users, Telegram is being hailed as a “neutral platform” by Durov, who has a fortune of $15.5 billion according to Forbes.
In a world where social media platforms are often criticized for bias and censorship, Telegram is standing out as a platform that allows free expression without interference. This has become especially evident in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, where Telegram has become a major source of unfiltered and uncensored content from both sides of the conflict.
With its main competitor, Meta Platforms’ WhatsApp, boasting over two billion monthly active users, Telegram is quickly closing the gap. Especially popular in former Soviet Union countries, Telegram is now considered one of the largest social media platforms in the world, alongside giants like Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram.
As the demand for unfiltered information grows, Telegram’s user base is likely to continue expanding. With Durov at the helm, Telegram shows no signs of slowing down in its quest to provide a platform for free expression and uncensored content.
