Telegram may soon roll out a subscription plan to unlock exclusive features
Telegram recently rolled out its version 8.7.2 beta for iOS, which included a new range of reaction emojis and stickers, as spotted by the Telegram beta channel. These new stickers and emojis are said to be features available only for the Telegram s. All s will reportedly receive a prompt asking them if they want to sign up for the Telegram subscription plan when viewing these reactions or stickers on the instant messaging app. It appears that Telegram is looking for new ways to monetise its platform by adding a plan that is said to offer special stickers and reactions as a start.
iOS beta app for the time being. There are no hints as to when and if the feature will be available on Android. As per the findings of the Telegram beta channel, the stickers won't be visible to the free s in conversations on the platform. Instead, they will see a banner telling them to "unlock additional reactions by subscribing to Telegram ."
In the meantime, we are expecting to hear more from the company about the latest subscription plan unlocking price and what other perks it offers because Telegram has not fully detailed the program yet, as mentioned already.
Moreover, Telegram recently launched a few more features in this year's second spring update, including custom notification tones, setting custom durations for muting chats or auto-deleting messages, and improved forwarding that preserves replies. Through these features, all s can send and receive new animations as well as animated emojis. Another major feature is the capability for bots that will allow developers to offer website-like experiences through the instant messaging app.
