Telegram crosses 500M monthly active users (indianexpress.com)

Telegram founder Pavel Durov recently confirmed the fact on his personal Telegram channel (@Durov). "In the first week of January, Telegram surpassed 500 million monthly active users. After that it kept growing: 25 million new users joined Telegram in the last 72 hours alone," shared Durov.

Matter of time until Telegram is #1 messenger. Boggles my mind how WhatsApp with its inferior app is still growing and not losing users.
