Telegram Vs WhatsApp | Is India the reason behind Telegram becoming most downloaded app?

WhatsApp's new privacy policy has irked many of their users, and they are leaving in droves for other messaging platforms. The company is facing a massive drop in its user base while simultaneously companies like Signal and Telegram's downloads are through the roof in the last couple of months. Telegram has now become the most downloaded non-gaming app worldwide in January 2021, with 24 percent of the total downloads coming from India, followed by Indonesia at 10 percent, according to the data released by Sensor Tower.
