The app also entered the list of top 10 most downloaded (non-game) apps on App Store, directly gaining the fourth position.
Telegram gained increased popularity after WhatsApp started sending notifications to over 400 million users in India in January asking them to either accept its new policy or see their accounts removed from February 8.
Facing a huge backlash in the country, WhatsApp deferred its new data privacy policy by three months and said that no one will lose his or her account from February 8 for not accepting the updated terms of service.
In the wake of the controversy, the popularity of another app, Signal, also increased in India.
According to the latest Sensor Tower data, Signal came third in the overall downloads worldwide for January, leaving Facebook and WhatsApp behind.
