WhatsApp Premium is only available for business users, and the regular userbase is spared from it. However, there’s a major difference between the two.

The popular messaging app, WhatsApp, has also announced a premium subscription service. And well, if you are unaware, Telegram is not alone in this endeavor.

So yeah, with ads being introduced in Telegram, the messaging app is building a subscription service to not only enable you to remove the intrusive sponsored messages but also offer additional services. Telegram Turns to Subscription for Monetization It will also allow users to support Telegram and join the club that receives new features first,” wrote Durov on his Telegram channel. “We will introduce Telegram Premium, a subscription plan that allows anyone to acquire additional features, speed, and resources. 250 per month, though.Ĭoming to availability, Telegram founder Pavel Durov has confirmed that Telegram Premium is coming later this month. We could expect it to be priced slightly lower than that, ideally around Rs. Although we don’t know the exact India pricing of Telegram Premium right now, that roughly translates to around Rs. Telegram Premium is priced at $4.99 per month, as spotted in the latest beta. Moreover, the subscribers will also be able to use longer captions with up to 4096 characters, access 20 folders, group up to 10 chats per folder, and add 4 connected accounts with different phone numbers. Subscribers can join up to 1000 channels, pin 10 chats, reserve 10 public username links, save up to 400 GIFs and 200 stickers, and use 140 characters in the bios link. WhatsApp has since also jumped on the bandwagon and introduced message reactions for all users.Īlongside these features, Premium subscribers will enjoy twice the limits of free users. This is an easy way to stand out from the crowd, if you’re into that. In addition to those reactions, Telegram will introduce exclusive animated reactions on messages to Premium subscribers. At the moment, there are 16 message reactions to choose from.


Telegram introduced message reactions last December. This should come in handy for users looking to add some personal touch to their phone without relying on icon packs for customization. You will get at least three new icons, presumably with more options coming in the foreseeable future. Another cosmetic change being introduced with the Telegram Premium subscription is the option to set new app icons.
