Telegram CEO Pavel Durov has officially announced that Telegram Premium will launch this month. There has been premium speculation for a while already, but now it has been officially confirmed that there will be a paid Telegram service. Features that are free on Telegram will still remain free, but those who pay for premium will get additional features, faster speeds and more resources.

Pavel Durov’s Telegram Premium announcement, as follows:
Durov said the firm has been experimenting with privacy-focused ads across multiple public channels, and these trials have been more successful than he had hoped. However, he explained that they decided it would be better if Telegram was primarily funded by its users through a premium subscription model.
Premium subscription will make Telegram a better company as it will have a revenue stream that will help it keep working. For those who want to stay in the free service, it seems that not much will change.
