Telegram, one of the relatively new instant messengers, has just announced an impressive milestone: 100 million active users. The number might seem impressive, but it's the result of another service not being up to par with users' needs.

Since WhatsApp Messenger has been acquired by Facebook, many users felt betrayed by the move and tried to find other alternatives to instant messenger.

It happened that Telegram was making waves around that time, as many users and the press alike praised the service's tight security in comparison with other instant messaging services.

According to Telegram, its service records around 350,000 new users each day, which is quite impressive and shows the huge potential of the instant messenger.

350,000 new users sign up each day

“Two and a half years ago we launched Telegram. Then you told your friends and co-workers about it. And they told their friends and co-workers. And we started growing.

“Now Telegram has more than 100,000,000 monthly active users. 350,000 new users sign up each day. We're delivering 15 billion messages daily. Thank you for spreading the word, keep it up!” said Telegram in a blog post.

On top of that, Telegram announced that it is now delivering more than 15 billion messages daily, which is roughly the number of push notifications that are sent by Telegram each day.

Telegram is now available on all three major platforms – Android, iOS and Windows Phone – so the number of monthly active users announced by the company is the total no. of users on all three mobile operating systems.

If you haven't tried the instant messenger until now, you can download Telegram for Android for free via Google Play Store. It should be fully compatible with all devices running Android 2.3 and up.

For iOS users, the application can be downloaded for free via App Store. It should work smoothly on all devices running iOS 6.0 or newer.

Last but not least, you can now download Telegram for Windows Phone for free via Windows Store. The application is compatible with all devices powered by Windows Phone 7 and up.
