Telegram has made some impressive strides over the past few years (it's quite mainstream as a messaging platform and social platform in some countries)
Idk, I feel like Telegram is viewed more like a subscription based twitter feed. It’s more about pushed updates to groups of people then communication between loved ones. (It’s also used a lot as a support medium, although I wouldn’t considered forced adoption for support or even notification as an indication of user adoption that’s like saying EV adoption is trending up while some areas almost force conversion).
I don't think I'd say the same for Signal though.
