The Russian digital platform Max (an analogue of the Chinese WeChat) has already registered one million users, the service's press service reported.
Over the past few weeks, 14 million messages have been sent and more than 420,000 calls have been made in the messenger. The average duration of a voice call is 8 minutes 6 seconds.
The mobile operating system Android accounts for 75% of registered users, iOS - 23% and 2% - for the PC version. Users from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan and Krasnodar are the most active in registering with Max.
Max is being developed by VK on the basis of the messenger of the same name and includes a mini-application platform, chatbot builders and a payment system. In the future, Max is planned to be integrated with "Gosuslugi". This will expand the functionality of the platform and simplify user access to government services.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the VK messenger will be pre-installed on all smartphones from the beginning of September.
