We already know the first exclusive features of Telegram Premium , the future paid subscription of the messaging application. Those who pay the monthly fee will have advantages over normal users, and will avoid many of the usual limits of Telegram.
Although Telegram had promised that it would be “free forever”, after almost 9 years of life, it needs income to stop depending on the contributions of Pavel Durov , its founder. Therefore, it is going to start showing ads in some chats, and offering the Telegram Premium subscription as a business model.

Luckily, Telegram Premium adds new features for subscribers, and none of the current features are paid for . Those who prefer to keep the free version will not notice changes, except for the ads in some channels.
These are the exclusive features of Telegram Premium that its subscribers will enjoy:
- No ads.
- File transfer up to 4 GB (2 GB standard).
- Increased speed when downloading files.
- Automatic transcription of audio to text.
- Exclusive stickers and reactions.
- Special insignia in profile.
- Auto-archiving and hiding of chats, and other conversation management features.
- Double limits: 1,000 channels, 20 folders, 10 pinned chats, 20 public links, 4 linked accounts and more.
The leaked features might not match the official ones, but Telegram Premium seems to be coming quite soon, so the screenshots obtained are quite believable.
In addition, they all make sense, such as increasing the limits of maximum channels that can be followed, the size of the files sent or exclusive stickers.
At the moment, we do not know the price of Telegram Premium , which is perhaps the most important aspect for its success. At the time WhatsApp also wanted to put a fee, and failed in the attempt, but in this case the payment is optional, which makes a big difference.
The new model of the app seems quite well designed, the exclusive features of Telegram Premium are useful, but essential , so the user community should not feel upset and, in fact, they do not even affect Telegram groups directly.
