๐Ÿ’” My phone got โ€œunlockedโ€ by the Dubai heat ๐Ÿซ 

๐Ÿ‘ด Iโ€™ve been using this $180 Samsung as my primary device for the last two years. I chose it because itโ€™s one of the most widely used phones among Telegram users. I wanted to understand their experience to serve them better ๐Ÿซก

But it seems Iโ€™ll have to change my phone soon ๐Ÿ˜‚

๐Ÿฅฒ Itโ€™s getting warmer in Dubai, and my friends are leaving for fancy places like the south of France. As a French citizen, I agree that France is the best holiday destination ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท

๐Ÿ“ฑ As the Telegram CEO though, I donโ€™t take holidays. Instead, I keep working while meeting our users from unusual locations. This summer Iโ€™ve decided to check out Central Asia to see what life is like there, study how people use Telegram and what their digital needs are ๐Ÿ“ž

โ˜•๏ธ I will keep you posted in this channel about my discoveries ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ

๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ฌ I loved the people and nature of Kyrgyzstan โ€” a real hidden gem of Central Asia. The weather was great, and there were no mosquitoes, so we hiked and rode horses a lot in the mountains and around the Issyk-Kul lake. I noticed that Kyrgyzstan is developing very fast, adding valuable infrastructure across the country ๐Ÿš€

โœŠ๐Ÿฝ More than half of the countryโ€™s population uses Telegram monthly, and in the last four months alone, Telegram's popularity grew by 30%. While there, we met with local telecom leaders and discussed ways to improve the experience of Kyrgyz Telegram users.

Thank you, Kyrgyzstan โ€” we will be back soon. Your hospitality inspires me for my future trips around beautiful Central Asia โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›
๐Ÿ†’ The TapSwap mini app has taken Telegram by storm and now has 56 million users ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

This crazy popularity was achieved in just a few months without any marketing ๐Ÿ˜Ž

๐Ÿ’ช The audience of TapSwap alone is larger than that of all legacy blockchain-based projects combined. TapSwapโ€™s team is wisely relying on Telegram for distribution and on TON to mint its upcoming token ๐Ÿ“ฑ

๐Ÿ”ผTapSwap is an inspiring success story for all developers building apps on Telegram and TON. Well done โ€“ and Godspeed! โฉ

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฟ This week I visited Uzbekistan โ€“ and thoroughly enjoyed it ๐Ÿ‘

โค๏ธ Uzbekistan loves Telegram: over 70% of the countryโ€™s 37 million people is on Telegram and their entire economy is run on our platform (every business in the country has a Telegram bot or channel). We are proud of this popularity and we love Uzbekistan back โค๏ธ

โœจDuring my trip to Uzbekistan I was amazed by the modern infrastructure of quickly developing Tashkent, the mountainous landscapes of Eastern Uzbekistan, and the rich history of Buhara and Samarkand ๐Ÿ’–

๐Ÿ„โ€โ™‚๏ธ Iโ€™ve met lots of young and talented people with good hearts. I am grateful for the warm welcome and hope to stay more in the sunny Tashkent later this year ๐Ÿ˜Ž
