Telegram Premium is official! Arrives in July with competitive price

The paid version of Telegram, the Telegram Premium it’s official! It will cost (probably) $4.99/month or €4.99/month and will arrive before the end of next July. It is purely optional, designed for power users or intensive users of this good alternative to WhatsApp.

After the first rumors appeared on the Internet last May, consistently, we now have confirmation of this paid modality for the messaging app. It should be noted that the announcement was made by the company’s CEO, Pavel Durov through his channel on the messaging and communications platform.

Among the main functions and exclusive advantages of the paid version, we highlight the following:

  • duplicate limits
  • File upload size – 4 GB
  • Faster download speed
  • Voice to text conversion
  • No Ads (advertising)
  • Unique reactions to messages
  • Premium Stickers
  • Advanced chat management features
  • Profile badge
  • animated avatars
  • Exclusive Telegram Premium Icons

O Telegram Premium, as Pavel Durov introduced him, is a new paid modality that will bring exclusive benefits to the most active users. However, all current functionality of the free version of the platform will remain unchanged.

Incidentally, the development and improvement of Telegram (free) will continue to run its normal course. At the same time, however, there will be incentives and advantages to attract new users to the paid plan. Note that this modality is inspired by Twitter Blue, the paid version of the social network, among others.

Telegram Premium brings additional features, exclusive functions and more speed

It is purely optional and strategically aims to bring a new source of profitability to the company. At the moment, the list of exclusive attributes can be consulted above, but we have other news to come to the platform in the future.

Finally, Durov says that the beta tests with Telegram Premium were well received, surpassing even his initial expectations with the program. Nevertheless, the CEO stresses his conviction in the need to make his company profitable with users and not with advertising agents. Only in this way, says Durov, can users remain at the heart of the company’s motivation.

In other words, a company supported by users will have users as a priority. In contrast, a company focused on advertising revenue will naturally focus on advertisers, its source of revenue.

Now, we can only wait for the general availability of Telegram Premium, currently in beta for Android. However, this platform will reach the general public by the end of next month.
