Telegram founder Pavel Durov claims to have had a surge in sign-ups within the last 24 hours. The popular secure messaging app is an excellent alternative to Facebook’s Messenger and WhatsApp services, offering users an optional end-to-end encrypted messaging feature. Users can add up to 3 Telegram accounts and easily switch between them simultaneously without logging out. The founder of the app has previously faced restrictions and bans in countries like Iran, as well as in its home country Russia, after refusing to comply with government requests for encryption keys.
