What Telegram Premium includes
Telegram Premium subscribers will obviously have the basic plan features available, which will not change for anyone and will therefore remain free, as well as a series of additional benefits. One of the most useful and interesting is the ability to upload and send files up to 4 GB, double the standard plan. Everyone will be able to download them but only those who pay will be able to exchange them. THE downloads will be fasteryou can add a fourth account and the internal limits of the app are doubled in many areas: you can for example follow up to a thousand between groups and channels instead of 500, they can create up to 20 chat folders with up to 200 conversations each e convert voice messages to text. And again: it will be possible to set ten chats in the main list, save up to 10 favorite stickers and, if desired, have a longer biography in which to also insert a link.
How to subscribe
A subscription had already been talked about for a couple of years. After all, so far, Telegram monetized only with affiliate programs linked to channels with at least a thousand users. Not much for a platform that has become – for example the case of the Russian invasion of Ukraine – a formidable channel for distributing content (better not to mention information).

In reality the offer is much wider: who pays, in addition to not see any advertisements in the most populous channels where they are shown, you will be able to add more characters to media captions, select 400 favorite gifs, reserve up to 20 t.me public links, access premium stickers and unique reactions as well as a series of management tools chats such as the ability to change the default chat folder, automatically archive and mute new chats. Conclude the package le animated profile photos, a particular badge that distinguishes the subscriber who will appear in the chat list, chat titles and member lists) and new icons that premium users can add to the home screen. Some of these benefits are certainly not indispensable but the ability to send heavier files and download them faster for many could already be worth the price of the subscription.
