🇨🇳 Number one!

Pavel Durov shared today that Telegram is the most downloaded → mobile app in China for Android, according to Google Play. A VPN is required to access Telegram in China.

Last week, China forced Apple to remove Telegram and WhatsApp from the Chinese App Store. The Telegram team has seen no decline in downloads from China. Durov doubts that Telegram was targeted by the Chinese government.

In his opinion, it was a move against Apple itself: the Chinese authorities are making more and more of its citizens switch from iPhones to Android smartphones from Chinese brands such as Xiaomi. Unlike iPhones, most Android smartphones offer the option to download apps outside of app stores.

Apple shot itself in the foot with its centralized “walled garden” app policies. As a result of this change, the iPhone market share in China will keep shrinking. Prioritizing profits over freedom for users is not a good long-term strategy.
