Telegram grows in China despite lockdown
Telegram's popularity in China began to grow in February 2020, when Chinese authorities tightened censorship of Covid-19 conversations on popular domestic platforms such as WeChat and Weibo. In search of alternative sources of information, some people turned to Telegram and others to Signal. Telegram installations in China grew 64% that month to 110,000 according to the Sensor Tower at the South China Morning Post, while Signal installations grew 70% to 17,000.
Telegram downloads also spiked last summer as former US President Donald Trump tried to ban WeChat in the US, prompting users to look for other ways to stay with friends and family in China. WeChat is normally the go-to tool for communicating with people in China, it is apparently used by everyone, and as a Chinese app, it works reliably within the country, but it must comply with local laws such as those that allow authorities to access the data of users who make some turn up their noses.

Telegram's popularity in Russia has doubled since February
The number of users who accessed Telegram at least once a day in May has increased to 40 million by June, as Mediascope estimates. Since April, the metric has increased by almost 10 million users.
Social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter that were banned in Russia after the beginning of the war continue to lose users. If before the war in Ukraine, the average daily reach for Instagram in Russia was 39 million people, by mid-April it fell to 14.5 million, and by the end of May — to 11.7 million. Facebook's coverage collapsed from 6.7 million users per day first to 2.9 million people, and then to 1.9 million, as Mediascope estimates. The Meta Platforms (Facebook's mother company) was labeled as an extremist organization by the Russian government, thus, most of its services were banned. Despite, that, Russia avoids blocking WhatsApp, seeing its popularity in Russia.
In contrast, Telegram leads at filling the vacant niche. After beginning of the Russia's invasion into Ukraine, people's demand for information from various sides greatly increased. Telegram became the main platform where this information could be promptly obtained.

Telegram among social media platforms used by China's COVID-19 protesters
People who protest against China's COVID-19 measures are using dating apps and social media platforms, including Weibo, Douyin, WeChat, Telegram, Instagram, and Twitter, to organize protests and circumvent censorship. Protests against the measures have taken place in several cities across China over the past few days, and are believed to be the first instances of civil disobedience in the country since President Xi Jinping took power a decade ago.
While state media did not cover the protests and the government has made a very few statements, the Foreign Ministry has said that China is a country with the rule of law and that all the rights and freedoms of its citizens are protected within the law.
Some protesters are using VPN software to access encrypted messaging apps and are adopting a decentralized model to exchange information with close-knit networks of friends. Others are using dating apps hoping to avoid scrutiny and are sharing information about the protests on social media platforms. Police is reportedly checking phones for VPN apps and the Telegram app. According to Sensor Tower, Telegram has seen a significant increase in downloads in China during the protests.
Protesters are adopting decentralized models, similar to those used in the Hong Kong protests of 2019. People have also used social media platforms to share advice on what to do if arrested, such as how to erase data from phones.
Apple has limited the use of its AirDrop file-sharing function on devices in mainland China, restricting the ability of users to send or receive files from non-contacts to a 10-minute window. The move comes weeks after reports that protesters had used the feature to spread messages critical of the Chinese government. The restrictions do not appear to affect iPhones purchased outside China, though iOS beta imposes the restriction globally. The change has received mixed reactions in Chinese media, with some praising it for addressing the problem of nuisance messages on public transport, while others have accused Apple of appeasing the Chinese authorities. The US tech giant has faced similar accusations in the past, including pulling the Quartz app from its store in China during the 2019 Hong Kong protests.

Telegram's EU Audience Reaches 38.5 Million People, or 8.5% of Population
Over the past six months, the audience of Telegram in the European Union has averaged 38.5 million people, which represents 8.5% of the population. These figures were published on the Telegram FAQ page (which is only accessible from a European IP address).
As a result, Telegram will not be subject to the Digital Services Act (DSA) for the time being, as it is used by fewer than 45 million users in the European Union.
Starting in February 2024, all digital platforms with an audience of over 45 million users in the EU will be required to disclose to regulators information about their algorithms, advertisers' access to data, content moderation decisions, and may be subject to external audits.

800 million monthly active users in Telegram
Pavel Durov told that over 2.5 million new users signing up for Telegram every day, and earlier this year Telegram has surpassed 800 million monthly active users.
While not yet profitable (which would be impossible to reach on just the second year of monetization), Telegram is closer to profitability in absolute numbers than its competitors such as Twitter and Snap.
To support growth and to reach the break-even point, Telegram issued around $270 million worth of bonds this week. About a quarter of them was bought by Durov himself.
"Some people suggested I should have instead bought a house or a jet. But I prefer to stay focused on my work, without “owning” anything (well, apart from Telegram, some Bitcoin and some Toncoin)".
