Amin Sharifi, CEO of Soroush Plus, responded to Peyvast’s request for an update on the platform’s recent performance—particularly following Israel’s aggressive attack on Iran and the resulting internet restrictions—by announcing a new milestone: the messaging app has now surpassed 10 million active users.
According to Sharifi, Soroush Plus recently broke the record of 1 million concurrent users, and all key metrics—including post views, story uploads, daily calls, and more—have surged by over 400%.
He reported that more than 1.5 million posts are published daily in channels, and these posts are viewed around 750 million times per day. Additionally, the number of daily voice calls on the platform has reached nearly 700,000.
Sharifi further noted that approximately 300,000 stories are shared each day, with a daily view count of around 4.5 million. Moreover, the platform is seeing an average of 300,000 new users joining daily, and the average user session has increased to over 40 minutes per day.
Regarding international communication, Sharifi highlighted a new feature:
“In light of the current critical conditions and the need for secure communication with users abroad, we activated support for non-Iranian phone numbers starting June 19. This enables Iranians living abroad to install Soroush Plus using their foreign numbers and receive an activation code. This access allows them to benefit from various features of Soroush Plus, such as voice and video calls and chatting with users inside Iran.”
