I think this is great news. One thing that looks suspicious is 15 billion messages a day. It must count group messages as a multiple of all subscribers and maybe some other dirty tricks. Can't believe that an average user sends 150 messages a day.

>Two and a half years after launch, Telegram is delivering over 15 billion messages daily – that's roughly the number of push notifications that are sent by Telegram each day. https://telegram.org/blog/15-billion https://telegram.org/blog/15-billion So it's push notifications/notifications.

  Oh, I see now. Then it is multiplied by the device number as well. But now I understand it and it seems impressive anyway.

Some people and sometimes I catch myself doing it send a sentence in multiple messages since the message doesn't cost anything compared to a sms where you would definitely try to fit as many characters as possible into a single message. However I'm not sure how common this is and if it could be one of the reasons for the high amount of messages per user.

  Yeah, sometimes it is used more in an "IRC" way than in a "SMS on steroids" way. I think that the web and desktop clients just push this probability. Having a computer keyboard instead of a phone to write triggers a different "state of mind" in the user, I think. At least it's like that for me.

It says it's pushes which would be past fan-out for groups.

If you use a desktop client with a physical keyboard, sending tons of messages within a short span of time is very easy to do compared to doing the same with a touchscreen (unless you're quick there too). :)

I send well over that many a day on average.

I participate in a 40-user group chat that sees around 2,000 messages a day. That's 50 messages on average from one group chat alone. Group chats – at least the ones I'm in – tend to have a multiplicative effect. If I talk to two people, over the course of two hours, at one message a minute, that's another 240 (2260) messages. The numbers seem fairly plausible. (I do think there's a fair number of spam and bot messages included in the figures.)
