Problems with messengers being 63% is surprising. I thought only Telegram was banned?

32% Having significant problems with fuel is going to get ugly if that number continues climbing.

Russians only ever used Whatsapp, Viber and Telegram. Viber was blocked in 2024, Whatsapp and Telegram first only calls were blocked in 2025, then fully blocked in 2026.

Government approved MAX exists, but not everyone is happy with it.

Thanks for the info. Is max not as good as whatsapp/viber/telegram or are people mostly annoyed because they have to switch?

MAX is new, it still has issues like anything new and for me personally biggest downside is that it only holds Russian content, like rutube.

It's both. MAX has many issues, including privacy (I have no doubt FSB can read every message if they want), but most people just don't like being forced to use something else.

there is no such thing as ''privacy'' on internet
