⚡️Pavel Durov Announces Paid Subnoscription //
As Pavel Durov declares officially, the Telegram Premium subnoscription will be introduced "this month".
Since the launch of Telegram more than 9 years ago, the messenger has provided users with more free features than any other messaging app.
Still, many users have asked to increase the messenger's current limits and capabilities, and the Telegram Premium is designed to meet the demands of such users.
In this context, according to Durov, if the app is sponsored by users, the Telegram team will be able to proceed its work in the interests of Telegram's users rather than its advertisers.

⚡️ Telegram Premium will be slightly cheaper than expected //
In Telegram’s new beta version for Android, one could find a mention of a premium subnoscription’s cost. Presumably, it will only be $3.99, although previously the price tag was expected to be a dollar higher.
The subnoscription’s exact cost will only be known at the time of release. It might vary from country to country.
Earlier, Pavel Durov said that the existing features will remain free after its release, with Telegram Premium allowing for additional features.
In addition, the premium subnoscription will expand users' limits and give them the opportunity to "join the club that receives new features first."

⚔️ Pavel Durov Speaks Out Against Apple //
Telegram’s founder drew attention to problems in the Safari mobile browser. Because of them, the messenger’s web version "cannot reach native-app-level quality on iOS”.
According to Durov, the reason is that Apple "limits web developers in terms of what they can do on iPhones and iPads." The Cupertinians are doing this intentionally.
This is how users are forced to move from web apps to native apps, where Apple is able to charge its 30% commission. The head of Telegram is glad that regulators have started to realize what is going on. He mentioned a recent statement from the British regulator.
“It's sad that, more than ten years after Steve Job's death, a company that once revolutionized mobile web turned into its most significant roadblock,” - concluded Durov.
