It has over 800 million active users
Today, one of the most popular instant messengers in the world, Telegram, is celebrating 10 years since its founding, as Pavel Durov announced.
In just a decade, Telegram has amassed over 800 million active users solely through word of mouth. With numerous updates and improvements over the years, Telegram has redefined how modern messaging should be.
The next step for Telegram is to go beyond messaging and lead social media innovation in general. We must use our popularity to make a difference in the lives of billions, to inspire and uplift people on our planet.

He also said that the ability to publish stories, which appeared in July only for owners of a paid Telegram Premium subscription, is gradually becoming available to all users.
While the past decade has been exciting, the next 10 years will be the time that Telegram unleashes its true potential.
