It has recently been revealed that the instant messaging service Telegram has now moved closer to introducing its premium tier.
According to GSM Arena, the hint comes from a data string that drastically changes the wording of the welcome screen when downloading and installing the messaging app.
Currently, one reads "Telegram is free forever. No ads. No subscription fees." but that text will be replaced with "Telegram provides free unlimited cloud storage for chats and media."
This clearly indicates that a subscription-based plan is in the works and will likely be introduced very soon.
As per GSM Arena, the exclusive features Telegram will offer to its paid accounts include a star badge that will appear next to the user's name in the chat lists and the app will give access to the user of exclusive stickers and reactions. The subscription cost has not been revealed.
