Telegram to launch premium plan soon
Washington (US), May 28: The instant messaging service Telegram has now moved closer to introducing its premium tier, according to recent reports.
As per a report by GSM Arena, the hint comes from a data string that drastically changes the wording of the welcome screen when downloading and installing the messaging app.
Currently, it reads "Telegram is free forever. No ads. No subscription fees." However, the text will now be replaced with "Telegram provides free unlimited cloud storage for chats and media."
