Security and privacy—these are two things that many communication platforms say they offer. But only a handful really live up to their promises—to a point. One of these is Telegram. It’s the brainchild of brothers Pavel and Nikolai Durov who also founded VK (previously VKontakte, meaning “in contact” in Russian).
The messaging app is available for Android and iOS devices as well as for Windows and Mac. Users of iOS devices were the first to experience Telegram and it took nearly two months for Android users to get to try the app. There have been many highs and lows—celebration-worthy instances and controversial moments, since then. The following Telegram statistics look at these in detail.

Telegram Latest Trends
Telegram’s popularity continues to grow, and its use patterns reveal interesting trends. Here are some of the most notable ways people are using Telegram today:
- Rise of Private and Public Channels: Telegram channels are popular, especially for broadcasting content. Public channels are being widely used by media outlets, influencers, and brands to share news and updates with large audiences. Private channels are increasingly utilized for exclusive content and community engagement.
- Increased Use of Telegram Bots: Bots are on the rise, automating tasks from customer support to news updates. Many brands are adopting Telegram bots to streamline communication with customers, provide 24/7 support, or deliver content automatically.
- Community Building Through Groups: Telegram groups are becoming essential for communities centered around shared interests, from hobbyist groups to professional networks. These groups support large capacities, making them ideal for niche communities and fanbases.
- E-commerce Integrations: Telegram is seeing a surge in e-commerce activities, especially among small businesses. Many retailers use Telegram to showcase products, take orders, and even process payments in-app, which is especially useful in regions where Telegram is a primary communication tool.
- Focus on Privacy: With increasing concerns about data privacy, more users are choosing Telegram for its security features, like end-to-end encryption in secret chats and self-destructing messages, boosting Telegram’s appeal among privacy-conscious individuals.
Telegram: Boon or Bane?
Telegram has been a true boon to people who believe that Big Tech has no business snooping on the private communications of individuals. With the app, people enjoy end-to-end encryption, a self-destruct feature for messages, and a security feature that disallows users to forward messages and other content. Because of that, users can rest assured that their data is their own. This also means that the organization is not selling information about them to third-party organizations for advertising and marketing purposes.
However, what makes Telegram attractive to people who value privacy also makes it attractive to people and groups for their clandestine activities. For example, groups associated with Daesh have numerous members. There are groups, too, that incite violent activities among its members. What’s more, Telegram chat statistics show that the mobile communication software is home to people who sell username/password combinations and credit card numbers.
There is also the matter of deepfake scandals to consider with Telegram. Similarly, there is the non-consensual sharing of intimate images. Such things make Telegram a bane.
Furthermore, the app has to guard against cybersecurity threats. According to cybercrime statistics, cyber crooks like to launch attacks using mobile apps. Indeed, there are individuals and groups that have used Telegram to disguise their malware.
With the app poised to launch monetization plans, there are cybersecurity trends it must address. Only then can it truly give people the security they are looking for.
