Telegram no longer “will always be free”? Durov's messenger will introduce a premium subscription

Telegram previously claimed that it would “always be free,” but now it turns out that the messenger is preparing to

introduction of paid premium subscription. This, however, does not mean that you will no longer be able to use it without money. Discuss

Developer Alessandro PaluzziPaluzzi found signs in the lines of code that Telegram is getting closer to implementing a subscription. The wording on the welcome screen when downloading and installing the messaging app will be changed.

Now you can see there:Telegram is free forever. No ads. No subscription fees” (“Telegram is forever free. No ads. No subscription”). This text will be replaced with "Telegram provides free unlimited cloud storage for chats and media". Journalists considered this a clear sign that a subscription would soon appear.
