“Yesterday, Telegram saw a record growth in registration and user activity. The daily growth rates of Telegram exceeded the norm by an order of magnitude, and in one day we accepted more 70 million refugees from other platforms ”, – cites the source of the words of Mr. Durov, who also called on the existing users of the service to help “Settle in” for beginners. “We will not let you down when others do it” , – added Durov.
The founder of the messenger noted that he is proud of how the Telegram team has managed to cope with the unprecedented growth of the user audience. The platform continued to work normally “for the vast majority of users” . According to the available data, some users from North and South America may have experienced a low speed of the messenger, which is due to the fact that “millions of people from these continents rushed to register in Telegram “.
Recall that on the evening of October 4, the WhatsApp messenger, as well as the social networks Facebook and Instagram, had a global failure, due to which the mentioned services did not function for six hours. The head of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, apologized to users for the inconvenience, and the engineers of the IT giant explained the failure by incorrect configuration changes of the backbone routers
