The imposition of martial law on December 3rd in South Korea has triggered a significant shift in the messaging app usage habits of its citizens.
According to the latest data from mobile analytics firm IGAWorks, the messaging app Telegram has seen a surge in downloads in recent days.
Specifically, on December 3rd, the number of new Telegram installations quadrupled compared to a normal day, reaching 40,576, accounting for nearly half of the total downloads of messaging apps that day.
This growth didn't stop there. On December 4th, Telegram recorded 33,000 new installations. This helped Telegram surpass popular domestic messaging apps like LINE and KakaoTalk to become the most downloaded app in this category in South Korea.
One of the main reasons why South Korean users are flocking to install Telegram is because of the app's strong end-to-end encryption system, which helps ensure the privacy of conversations, especially amid concerns about censorship and service disruptions.
Furthermore, the fact that Telegram's servers are located overseas is also a factor that attracts users. While domestic messaging apps like Naver and Kakao experienced overload and connection disruptions after martial law was imposed, Telegram remained stable, meeting users' urgent communication needs.
Telegram currently has 700 million registered users worldwide .
