According to Sensor Tower , a mobile application business intelligence analysis agency , on February 5, Telegram 's downloads in January 2021 exceeded 63 million times, a 3.8-fold increase from January 2020. Meanwhile, Telegram ranked first on Google Play and fourth on the App Store , beating TikTok to become the most downloaded non-game app in the world in terms of overall downloads. TikTok and encrypted communication app Signal ranked second and third respectively . Sensor Tower estimates that of Telegram 's more than 63 million downloads, about 24% came from India, with more than 15 million downloads; followed by Indonesia, which accounted for 10% and had more than 6 million installations.
Additionally, Signal , Facebook , WhatsApp , Instagram , ZOOM , MX Taka Tak , Snapchat and Facebook Messenger were among the top ten most installed non-game apps worldwide in January 2021.
The fact that Telegram and Signal, which were not well-known before, were able to achieve such high download figures in January is definitely related to the updated privacy terms of WhatsApp , which was scheduled to be released today ( February 8) and then postponed for another three months. You should know that just last December, Telegram ranked only 9th in terms of downloads on Google Play .
At that time, the privacy update terms pushed by WhatsApp to users caused "public outrage", and Tesla CEO Musk's words " Use Signal " undoubtedly "added fuel to the fire", triggering a large-scale "migration" of netizens to communication software, and the downloads of Telegram and Signal increased rapidly.
Interestingly, Telegram has even opened a chat history import function, making itself a great place to accommodate " WhatsApp refugees ." According to foreign media theverge on January 28, Telegram has added a new function to import chat history from WhatsApp , and released a guide video on Twitter for migrating chat history: Telegram helps users “carry” past chat records with them, which means there is one less obstacle for users to switch to Telegram . Therefore, it can be expected that the number of Telegram users will continue to grow and user stickiness will increase accordingly. Telegram India |
