The Big Four carriers reported that Telegram had pioneered WhatsApp in terms of user traffic by early 2023—by 60% to 80% depending on the carrier.
The volume of absorption in WhatsApp is stable (it is not perceived and does not decrease), but for a competitor it is growing every day.
For the first two weeks of January it was 68% year-on-year. It is worth noting that the volume of resource consumption is not only popular, but also how many users through it transmit heavy growth – primarily video.

MTS notes that the share of Telegram is now 80%, it bypasses WhatsApp in terms of user activity. MegaFon said that a small share of the messenger has been occupied since March 2022.
In the last two weeks of December, its share in the total turnover is 61%, WhatsApp has 28%, and the reserve is already 62% against 27%, respectively.
Telegram has not yet overtaken WhatsApp in terms of the number of users and is in 2nd place. But the fastest messenger is Telegram: over the year, its audience among Tele2 subscribers has increased by almost 50%.
– representative of Tele2
Chief Analyst of the Russian Association for Electronic Communications (RAEC) Maria Saykina said that the Telegram audience is growing 5 times faster and this year it should become larger than WhatsApp.
Denis Kuskov, founder of the Telecom Daily analytical agency, believes that the “green” messenger has nowhere to grow, and the “blue” one has about three more years before its audience reaches its limits. [Ведомости]
