The most popular messenger developed byteam of Pavel Durov. The developers have repeatedly emphasized that the application has a high degree of protection and reliably preserves the correspondence and personal data of users from external intrusion. Despite not being blockchain-based, Telegram has become the number one messenger for users leaving Whatsapp.

Telegram is so well protected that eventhe Russian special services were unable to view the messages sent in the messenger. This fact became the reason for the accusations of Pavel Durov of complicity in terrorism, because such a safe application could be used by criminals to transfer information and ciphers. It is still unknown whether terrorists use Telegram, but ordinary users are happy to install this application for themselves.

Since 2018, Telegram began to implementcrypto-encryption technologies, which are presented in the messenger in the form of the Passport application. It is this algorithm that saves all user data on a secure blockchain platform, and the Telegram developers themselves have repeatedly stressed that they do not have access to the storage of user information.

Immediately after reporting a new userWhatsApp policy, Telegram downloads have skyrocketed. During the period from January 6 to January 10, the messenger was downloaded more than 9 million times, and in the USA Telegram became the second mobile application in terms of the number of downloads.
