![]() Those that do will get the perk of joining a Premium “club” that will get new features first, he adds. ![]() He’s also spinning it as a bit of a patronage layer - pitching Telegram super fans who want to support the platform by making a financial contribution. ![]() In his post, Durov sums up Telegram Premium as “a subscription plan that allows anyone to acquire additional features, speed and resources”. But it remains to be seen what the official pricing will be in different regions. But, in recent days, press reports of incoming premium features and pricing have emerged, via the beta app, which suggest it could include stuff like increased file upload size, faster download speeds, voice-to-text conversion, premium stickers, advanced chat management features and more (no ads!).Ī price of $4.99 per month has also been reported based on analysis of the beta app. “After giving it some thought, we realized that the only way to let our most demanding fans get more while keeping our existing features free is to make those raised limits a paid option,” he writes.Įxact details of what Premium users will get - and how much it will cost - are not detailed in Durov’s post. Indeed, the claim is that users who don’t pay for Telegram will not only not see any degrading of their experience but stand to benefit by being able to (freely) tap into certain premium extras - such as the ability to view “extra large” documents, media and stickers sent by Premium users, or add premium reactions if they’ve already been pinned to a message.ĭurov says the move is intended to respond to user demand for additional storage/bandwidth - without such super users destroying Telegram’s ability to sustain a free service for everyone else. ![]() Free messaging app Telegram is getting into the subscription game.įounder Pavel Durov confirmed today a paid offering is coming later this month which will go above and beyond the current free experience - so a premium offer - without, per the post on his Telegram channel, any negative changes to existing features for (non-paying) users. ![]()
