Telegram users will finally get a paid subscription plan. The CEO of the messaging app, Pavel Durov, has confirmed that the Telegram Premium subscription will be launched later in June. Users who will opt for Telegram Premium will get to experience new features including a higher limit for chats, media and file uploads by paying additional charges. However, Telegram will not charge users for the existing features.

Telegram Premium Membership To Launch In June

According to Telegram CEO, Pavel Durov, offering a paid subscription to users will ensure that Telegram remains funded primarily by its users and not advertisers. The messaging app has recently seen a surge in its user base and currently records 500 million monthly active users.

Talking about the new Telegram Premium plan, Durov noted in a blogpost that the only way to let the most demanding fans get more while keeping the existing features on Telegram free was to make those raised limits a paid option. He stated that Telegram Premium will allow users a higher limit for chats, media and file uploads. Besides, the paid subscription is expected to unlock additional stickers as well.

The Telegram tag line currently reads—“Telegram will be free forever. No ads. No fees”. However, the messaging app will reportedly be dropping the old slogan owing to the launch of the new paid subscription plan. The new data strings shared by noted developer Alessandro Paluzzi include a new tag line— “Telegram provides free unlimited cloud storage for chats and media.” The screenshot also suggests that there are plans to show ads.
