Telegram has been seen working on a telegram premium tier many times in the previous several months, and it was apparently planning to remove its free tier “Forever free. There are no advertisements.
There are no membership costs “In preparation for this, I’ve created a slogan. Pavel Durov, the messaging service’s CEO and creator, announced Telegram Premium Tier on June 10 but did not specify its perks or monthly membership cost. Telegram has announced the debut of its premium plan, coupled with the statement that it has reached 700 million monthly active users.
“Premium members’ donations will help enhance and extend the app for decades to come,” according to Telegram, “while Telegram will stay free, autonomous, and respect its users-first ethos, reinventing how a software firm should operate.”
Features Of The Telegram Premium Tier
This change will not put any of the free features behind a paywall. Rather, it’s improving a lot of them and grouping them into a premium tier. All of the new Telegram Premium features are listed below:
- 4GB uploads: Until now, Telegram has only enabled users to share files up to 2GB in size. This restriction has been increased to 4GB for Premium customers. Even on the free tier, big files may be downloaded.
- Faster download speeds: Telegram Premium customers will benefit from the quickest download rates available by their network, in addition to a greater file sharing limit. Given the platform’s notoriously sluggish download rates, this is a great feature.
- More channels to follow: With Telegram Premium tier, you may follow up to 1000 channels, up from 500 in the free version. Similarly, you may store up to 10 stickers, pin up to 10 conversations, reserve 20 t.me public links, have instant access to over 400 favorite GIFs, and pin up to 10 chats—all of which are twice the limit of the free tier.
- Limits on Telegram Premium have been increased: subscribers may have lengthier biographies and add links to them, as well as dynamic profile images. Premium members’ profile videos will also animate inside the chat window and in the discussion list.
- Premium users may transcribe audio messages given to them into text if they don’t want to listen to the message.
- You may configure Telegram to open a custom folder containing your favorite talks or unread messages instead of the default “All Chats” folder to better manage your chat list. Premium users may also archive and mute new discussions automatically.
- Telegram Premium will provide you access to special stickers with full-screen animations and over 10 additional emoji responses, allowing you to express yourself more effectively. The stickers will be changed on a monthly basis.
- No ads: Premium users will get a distinctive badge, as well as access to premium app icons and ad-free public channels.
Surprisingly, Telegram’s statement merely emphasizes the premium tier’s capabilities and makes no mention of its price. Pricing seems to vary by area, ranging from $5 to $6, while some users have reported seeing costs as low as $3.99.
For iOS users in India, the membership costs Rs 460 per month ($6), which is on the upper end. This is a lot more than WhatsApp’s previous $1 per month plan before Facebook purchased it, but Telegram also has a lot more functionality. We’ve contacted the manufacturer for additional information about pricing.
Telegram has also revealed enhancements for people who do not want to pay for the service. You may enable join requests in a public group on the messaging platform so that managers can assess new members before they join.
Verification badges are awarded to public personalities and organizations that validate their channel, group, or bot. This will allow you to rapidly verify that communications are coming from a trustworthy source.
You can long press on a conversation to preview the message content without needing to mark it as read on the Android version of the app, much as on the iOS version. Additionally, in the Android app, the Save to Gallery option has been returned, with the ability to customize settings per-chat, channel, and group.
An animated progress indicator will appear for iPhone users when sharing huge files to offer a clearer understanding of the overall process. If you use Telegram on your Mac, you can now use the built-in tool to create an animated profile image.
Improved audio and video quality in voice and video messaging for Android users, smoother 120fps animations for iPhones and iPads, and a slew of bug fixes are among the other improvements.
Telegram v8.8 includes all of these modifications. Because the update is being sent out gradually, it may not appear on the Play Store right away.
