Finally, Telegram has just officially announced the release of Telegram Premium, the first subscription to the instant messaging app globally, including India, unlocking many new features for those who subscribe to it. The launch is not entirely accidental and coincides with an important milestone: that of the 700 million monthly active users.
The Premium features available with Telegram version 8.8 on the Apple App Store allowing users to unleash Telegram’s full potential for ₹469 or $5.99 per month. Telegram Premium is not yet available on the Google Play Store, but it will be soon. In any case, the rollout will be very gradual, so make yourself comfortable and patient if you don’t see the update immediately. Meanwhile, let’s immediately see what the features of Telegram Premium are for its subscribers.

Telegram Premium Price
The price of Telegram Premium is ₹469 for India and $5.99/month (compared to $4.99 in the US). The subscription can be canceled, and then resumed, at any time. It’s hard to judge the price per se, because there aren’t too many meters of comparison in the competition at the moment.
Public groups now support join requests, there’s a new animation when sharing large files from other apps to Telegram, in addition to bot improvements, ProMotion 120Hz support, and bug fixes.
The features offered are indeed many, but at the same time the free version of Telegram continues to go great for most users. Ultimately Telegram Premium is also a way to support the app, as well as an attractive option for those working in teams and wanting a more powerful collaboration tool than the free version.
