But free users aren’t supposed to notice any downsides.
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has announced the messaging app, which has been free to use since it debuted in 2013, is going to introduce a subscription-based Premium offering.
« After giving it some thought », Durov says, « we realized that the only way to let our most demanding fans get more while keeping our existing features free is to make those raised limits a paid option. That’s why this month we will introduce Telegram Premium, a subscription plan that allows anyone to acquire additional features, speed and resources.
