В январе Telegram стал самым скачиваемым приложением в мире

Cамым скачиваемым мобильным неигровым приложением за январь 2021 года стал мессенджер Telegram, в котором недавно появилась функция переноса переписки из других приложений.
Мессенджер, созданный IT-бизнесменом Павлом Дуровым, в первом месяце года установили 63 миллиона раз - это в 4 раза больше, чем за тот же период в прошлом году. Чаще всего его скачивали пользователи Google Play Store.
Повышенный интерес к Telegram может быть связан с оттоком пользователей из приложения WhatsApp из-за предоставления личных данных материнской компании Facebook.
Второе место заняло китайское приложение TikTok. За месяц его скачали 62 миллиона раз. При этом 10% всех загрузок пришлось на США, где до недавнего времени власти намеревались запретить эту платформу для коротких видео. Больше всего скачиваний было произведено на устройства от Apple.


Telegram became the most downloaded app in the world in January

The most downloaded mobile non-gaming application in January 2021 was the Telegram messenger, which recently introduced the function of transferring correspondence from other applications.
The messenger, created by IT businessman Pavel Durov, was installed 63 million times in the first month of the year, which is 4 times more than in the same period last year. It was downloaded more often by Google Play Store users.
The increased interest in Telegram may be due to the churn of users from the WhatsApp application due to the provision of personal data to the parent company Facebook.
The second place was taken by the Chinese application TikTok. It was downloaded 62 million times in a month. At the same time, 10% of all downloads were in the USA, where, until recently, the authorities intended to ban this platform for short videos. Most of the downloads were made on Apple devices.

2021-01-28 21:55:17 Russian word for "please" пожалуйста [pa-zhá-lus-ta]

is used in two situations:

- to say "please" when asking for something

- and to say "you are welcome" in response to "thank you"

In the video the girls are teaching the boy (whose behaviour is usually bad, and he doesn't use polite words) to say пожалуйста that's a joke, of course Open / Comment
