<p>Telegram became one of the <strong>top-5</strong> downloaded apps worldwide in 2022 and now has over <strong>700 million monthly active users</strong>. This growth is solely from <strong>personal recommendations</strong> – Telegram has never paid to advertise its apps.</p>
|
||
<p>As Telegram keeps growing at rocket speed, many users have expressed their will to support our team. Today we're launching <img class="icon" src="/file/464001305/110b0/-bpC5P3HJp4.6317/a2b79589744c739331" alt="Premium"> <strong>Telegram Premium</strong> – a subscription that lets you support Telegram's <strong>continued development</strong> and gives you access to <strong>exclusive additional features</strong>.</p>
|
||
<p>This will allow us to offer all the resource-heavy features users have asked for over the years, while <strong>preserving free access</strong> to the most powerful messenger on the planet. </p>

<h3><a class="anchor" name="telegram-premium" href="#telegram-premium"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a><img class="icon" src="/file/464001305/110b0/-bpC5P3HJp4.6317/a2b79589744c739331" alt="Premium"> Telegram Premium</h3>
|
||
<p>By subscribing to Telegram Premium, users unlock <strong>doubled limits</strong>, <strong>4 GB file uploads</strong>, <strong>faster downloads</strong>, <strong>exclusive stickers</strong> and <strong>reactions</strong>, <strong>improved chat management</strong> – and a whole lot more.</p>
|
||
<p>At the same time, <strong>all existing features</strong> that users have come to expect and rely on for nearly a decade <strong>remain free</strong>. Moreover, non-premium users will be able to enjoy some of Premium's benefits: for example, download the <a href="#4-gb-uploads">extra-large documents</a> and view <a href="#unique-stickers">stickers</a> sent by premium users, as well as tap to increase counters on <a href="#unique-reaction">premium reactions</a> that were already added to a message.</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>The contributions of premium subscribers will help improve and expand the app for decades to come, while Telegram will remain free, independent and uphold its users-first values, redefining how a tech company should operate.</p>

|
||
<p>Any user can upload large files and media, each up to 2 GB in size and enjoy unlimited storage in the Telegram Cloud for free. With Telegram Premium, subscribers will now be able to send <strong>4 GB files</strong> – enough space for 4 hours of 1080p video, or 18 days of high-quality audio.</p>

|

<p>While we are going to release more exciting features for Premium subscribers, we will keep implementing free features available for everyone, and do it faster than any other massively popular app. This update is no exception – it adds <strong>join requests</strong> for public groups, an animated screen for <strong>external sharing</strong>, <strong>improved bot descriptions</strong>, and more.</p>
