Telegram announced on Friday it will launch a paid subscription plan for its users this month.
Founder Pavel Durov said in a blogpost that users who take the subscription will get a higher limit for chats, media and file uploads.
“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. It will also allow users to support Telegram and join the club that receives new features first,” Durov said.
“Not to worry though: all existing features remain free, and there are plenty of new free features coming,” he added.
With WhatsApp facing backlash over its privacy policy, messaging apps including Telegram have seen increase in users.
