It will become very difficult to escape the premium formulas deployed on certain social networks and instant messaging applications. Telegram should soon join this category, since an offer seems to have been unearthed.
In the more or less near future, WhatsApp but also TikTok will both offer optional subscriptions to Internet users. These offers will allow access to various bonuses such as badges, emotes or exclusive chats. Of course, these sites will remain as a whole accessible free of charge. But users who want to will be able to support their favorite content creators by paying a few euros.
A change of slogan
When someone launches Telegram, the following message appears: “ Telegram is free forever. No advertisements. No subscription fees. “A beautiful statement that will probably soon no longer be relevant. Alessandro Paluzzi, a mobile developer and insider, recently previewed the new page that will be displayed when the app launches. And the slogan that can be read there changes radically. ” Telegram provides free and unlimited cloud storage for chats and media », will be readable on this so-called “free” version.
In another tweet, Paluzzi shared a screenshot of the section that will allow subscription to Telegram Premium. This offer will include exclusive stickers, additional reactions and other undisclosed benefits at this time.
We also do not know the price that will be applied or the date of large-scale deployment of this subscription.
