In March 2026, the secure messenger eXpress demonstrated significant growth: the number of new registrations increased 3.5 times compared to the average for previous periods. This result allowed the app to enter the top ten free business app rankings in the Russian segment in popular app stores.
By early 2026, eXpress's audience exceeded 3 million users. Two key factors can be identified for this growth:
Restrictions on the operation of several public messaging apps in Russia. These include WhatsApp (owned by Meta Corporation, which is recognized as extremist and banned in Russia) and Telegram.
Expansion of eXpress functionality. Messenger has become convenient for a variety of users: not only large companies, but also small teams, as well as owners of personal ("green") accounts not associated with corporate use.
