Telegram Is Again at the Top of the US App Store
The messenger is now at the first place in the US App Store in the Social Networks category. The app currently gets more downloads than Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, Twitter, Signal and Discord.
In the general ranking, Telegram is in the top 20, and among its significant competitors it is second only to ByteDance apps (TikTok and CapCut).
A Statista report shows that last year the US became Telegram's fourth fastest growing market in terms of audience acquisition, behind India, Russia and Indonesia.

Fake News: Telegram's Unlimited Storage to Become Paid
Some channels have started spreading rumors that Telegram will limit storage for free users and make unlimited storage a privilege for Premium subscribers.
A source close to Telegram informed us that this is untrue.
File storage in Telegram remains unlimited for all users, with a maximum single file size of 2 GB (Premium subscribers can upload files up to 4 GB).
The misinformation is based on the fact that the messenger changed the wording about the increased limit in the description of Telegram Premium features. This allegedly indicates that Telegram is planning to make unlimited storage paid, which is not true.

Xiaomi GetApps store is distributing a malicious modification of the Telegram client
Some users report that the malicious app version comes pre-installed on Xiaomi smartphones they purchased.
The client downloaded from GetApps displays suspicious icons that offer participation in a giveaway and claim that the user has won a cash prize. Additionally, users report that the app may unexpectedly terminate the session, requiring a new login.
The @tginfo editors warn:
1. There is no official version 9.6.9 of the Telegram app for Android: after version 9.6.7, Telegram developers released version 9.7.0.
2. The giveaways and prizes mentioned by this modification are not related to Telegram. They are likely an attempt to steal your data.
We strongly advise against using or installing Telegram from Xiaomi GetApps.
If you are using the GetApps version of the messenger:
1. Log out from your account.
2. Delete the malicious version.
3. Install the official client from the Telegram website: telegram.org/android.
4. After a day, go to Settings โบ Devices and select "Terminate all other sessions". This will require re-login on all devices except the current one. If possible, instead of waiting a day, perform this action from another device where you have been using Telegram for some time.
5. In the GetApps settings, disable "Auto updates".
