Telegram Premium users will also be able to add up to four accounts in the app and pin up to 10 chats. Paying customers will also be able to follow up to 1,000 channels, up from 500 offered to free users, and create up to 20 chat folders with as many as 200 chats in each. Telegram Premium enables users to send files as large as 4 GB (up from 2 GB) and supports faster downloads, for instance, Telegram said. The premium tier adds a range of additional and improved features to the messaging app, which topped 500 million monthly active users in January 2021. The firm did not disclose how much it is charging for the premium tier, but the monthly subscription appears to be priced in the range of $4.99 to $6. Telegram has amassed over 700 million monthly active users and is rolling out a premium tier with additional features as the instant messaging platform pushes to monetize a portion of its large user base.
