Rumors have been appearing for some time about Telegram Premium , which would be a payment option for this popular messaging network. Although at the moment they are still just that, rumors, since those of Telegram have not given any announcement to date.
But, we have no illusions about the secrecy of Telegram or its founder , Pavel Durov, since the fight for monetization and the increase of capital is something that the big social networks have focused on in recent times.
Also, as often happens, beta testers and data miners end up being the weak leg of any app secret. And it is that, thanks to them, many of the features that Telegram Premium will have have been leaked .
What will Telegram Premium offer?
Until now, Telegram beta version 8.7.2 is only available for iOS and it has a variety of new features, which, in the opinion of many beta users and other experts, could be the features that Telegram Premium will have. . We summarize all these functions below.
You can send larger files
Currently, the weight limit of the files you can send on Telegram is 2 GB, but for users who pay for the Premium subscription , this limit would be increased to 4 GB .
Thanks to this, it is possible that we will see in the next few years Telegram channels with rich multimedia content in high definition , but only for Premium members.
Subtitles for voice memos
An interesting function that the new Telegram Premium would have is the conversion of text or subtitles of all voice notes . This function would be available within a batch of new accessibility features, which are not yet fully unveiled.
Faster file downloads
It seems that Telegram would be working to remove the file download speed limit , but exclusively for Premium users.
We still don’t know how they will achieve it, if by enslaving the bandwidth of the network in which we are connected or through fragmented downloads like those of MEGA (by the way, here we tell you how to download unlimitedly).
Undoubtedly, this, added to the relative freedom of publication that Telegram allows, would mean indirect competition for cloud storage services .
We say goodbye to the announcements, although they have not arrived yet
Telegram wants to increase its monetization, and it is something that is noted because the display of ads is scheduled , although the date or version in which it would be implemented has not yet been set.
Of course, Telegram Premium users would be exempt from ads , but apparently there will also be a much cheaper subscription where only the ads would be removed.
Unique stickers and reactions
Another feature that Telegram Premium would offer is a renewed library of exclusive animated stickers and reactions . Likewise, it would be scheduled to update said library monthly.
Animated profile pictures and badges
Telegram Premium would seek to make its subscribers feel special, this would be achieved through various exclusive profile editing features . Some of them would be the option to replace the profile image with a short video, you could also add icons very similar to the Signal badges to your username.
Almost unlimited access options
It is expected that certain exclusive capabilities will be enabled for Telegram subscribers, such as increasing the limit of channels to which they can join to 1000 , access to up to 20 chat folders or grouping up to 10 chats in each folder.
How much will Telegram Premium cost?
Everything indicates that Telegram Premium would deal with a monthly subscription of around $4.99 , so we expect it to arrive in Europe for €4.66 or less.
Although there is still a long way to go to determine the final price of the subscription and it is quite likely that it will vary up or down depending on the country or region of the user.
Now that you know what the leaks of the Telegram Premium functions are, tell us… would you be willing to pay the subscription? By the way, take a look at WhatsApp Premium, which is a subscription very similar to this one .
