Earlier this month, Pavel Durov, who is the founder and CEO of Telegram confirmed that a premium plan for telegram is in the works. Now, the company has officially debuted the said premium plan. The paid tier is priced at Rs 469 in India and will cost between $5 – $6 in the United States. So, let’s take a look at all the new perks it brings along.

The first major feature coming with the premium tier is the ability to send files up to 4GB in size. This gives users an additional 2GB of wiggle room over the existing 2GB limit on the free version of Telegram. The premium also allows faster downloads with the official blog post saying “You can access everything in your unlimited cloud storage as fast as your network can keep up.”

Premium tier users will also get an increase in the limits of things they can do on Telegram. They can follow up to 1,000 channels, create up to 20 chat folders with up to 200 chats each, add a fourth account to any Telegram app, pin 10 chats in the main list, and much more. One interesting feature offered with the premium tier is the Voice-to-Text feature which is capable of converting voice messages into text messages making it pretty convenient for instances when you receive a voice note that you can currently listen to. Other than that, users get access to exclusive premium stickers, an animated profile picture, a premium badge, and much more. And of course, premium users will also stop seeing ads that sometimes appear in public groups in certain countries.

Earlier, there were rumors that Telegram is working on a paid subscription plan. Today, Pavel Durov, the messaging app’s founder and CEO, confirmed that the Telegram Premium plan is indeed in development and will be launched by the end of this month.

Telegram Premium will be launching later in June and it will bring some extra features for the more demanding users. Premium users will have a higher limit for chats, media, and file uploads, Durov said in a blog post.

Durov claimed that the existing features in the free version will not be degraded and in fact, plenty of new features will soon be added to it. Furthermore, he stated that even users who do not subscribe to Telegram Premium will be able to take advantage of some of its features, such as viewing extra-large documents, media, and stickers sent by Premium users, or tapping to add Premium reactions already pinned to a message to react in the same way.

Durov stated that the Premium service is meant to respond to user demand for more storage/bandwidth without destroying Telegram’s ability to provide a free service to everyone else.

“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,” says Durav.

The exact details of the Premium plan are not known yet. However, previous reports have suggested that paid tier will cost $4.99 per month. The prices may vary for different regions.

Following privacy concerns with rival messaging app WhatsApp, owned by Meta Platforms, Telegram has seen an increase in users. According to its website, Telegram currently has 500 million monthly active users and is one of the top ten most downloaded apps in the world.

Telegram is one of the most popular messaging apps. The app often comes into the discussion for its robust online privacy and security. Like every other app or service, Telegram also needs to monetize itself to keep the platform up and running. The messaging app recently started an ad platform for public one-to-many channels, and now it appears that the company will launch a Premium version with extra features that users will have to pay for.

Recently while testing the latest beta version 8.7.2 of the Telegram iOS app, the Telegram Beta channel discovered a variety of reaction emojis and stickers that have been labeled as Telegram Premium exclusives. If users select these stickers and emojis, they will be asked to register for the paid service.

Free users are barred from viewing the premium stickers in a conversation thread, and they’ll also be prompted to subscribe to the premium service. The premium users will also get a gradient star icon next to their username.

Currently, these premium features are only available in tests and more details regarding the pricing and how the users will be able to sign up are yet to be known.

Another feature known as the Avatar creator has been detected by the r/telegram subreddit. Apparently, this feature will let users combine gradients with emoji, stickers, or a monogram to create simple or patterned avatars. This was found in the macOS beta.

The appearance of Telegram premium in beta indicates that a paid subscription of the messaging app might be close. Telegram is yet to make an official statement regarding the same.
