The Telegram messaging app is facing reported issues as WhatsApp and Messenger users flood across to it during the widespread Facebook outage.
With WhatsApp now down for hours, thousands of new users have signed up to Telegram at the same time, causing their app to slow down significantly.
“With all the new folks signing up, things are a little slow – it’s nice to have them, but all at once is a little much. Sorry!” replied Telegram Messenger’s Twitter account to a complaining user.
