Telegram’s daily growth rate has exceeded the norm, and we welcomed over 70 million refugees from other platforms in one day. I am proud of how our team is handling unprecedented growth as Telegram continues to work flawlessly for the vast majority of our users. However, some users in America may have experienced slower-than-normal speeds as millions of users from these continents rush to sign up for Telegram at the same time.
I’m asking our current users to say hello to their new friends, help them unpack and let them know what we have in stock. Make sure they get stuck and see why Telegram is light years ahead of the competition.
For new users, I want to say – welcome to Telegram, the largest independent messaging platform. We will not disappoint you when others are disappointed.”
