External Sharing. Users can directly share large media items to Telegram from other apps – saving time and storage space. On iOS, you can follow the status of your upload with an animated progress bar.
Animated Profile Pictures on macOS. Create a custom, looping profile video on macOS from your favorite animated stickers and emoji – complete with gradient backgrounds and patterns. You can add one to your own account, or create them for groups and channels – quickly giving any chat a personalized icon.
⭐ Doubled Limits. With Telegram Premium, you get increased limits for almost everything in the app. Follow 1000 channels, create 20 folders with 200 chats each, add a fourth account to any app, pin 10 chats in the main list, save 10 favorite stickers – and more.
Preview Chats. Press and hold the profile picture of any chat to view its messages – without marking them as read. You can scroll in the preview window to see more of the chat history, or use the menu buttons to quickly pin, mute or mark as read.
⭐ No Ads in Public Channels. Sponsored Messages are shown in some large public channels. These privacy-conscious advertisments help support Telegram’s costs, but are hidden for Premium subscribers.
⭐ Premium Icons. Premium users have 3 more app icons to choose from – a premium star, turbo plane, and night sky. All Android and iOS users have several default icon options, like Vintage and Aqua in Settings > Chat Settings (Android) or Settings > Appearance (iOS).
⭐ Profile Badges. Premium subscribers have a special badge that appears next to their name in the chat list, chat headers, member lists in groups, and on their profile.
⭐ Animated Profile Pictures. The profile videos of Premium users animate throughout the app – including in chats and the chat list.
⭐ Auto-Archive and Mute. Premium users can set new chats from non-contacts to automatically go to their Archived Chats with notifications disabled. Enable this setting via Settings > Privacy and Security > Archive and Mute. This option will also appear for any free users who have many chats with non-contacts.
⭐ Premium Reactions. Several unique reaction emoji are available to Premium users – like 👌😍❤️🔥🤡💯🐳🌭. All users can increase the count of these emoji on a message after a Premium user reacts with one.
⭐ Default Chat Folder. With Telegram Premium, you can change your default folder from All Chats to a custom one, like Work or Unread. To change it, press and hold a folder, tap Reorder, then drag a new folder to the first space.
⭐ Premium Stickers. Premium subscribers can send dozens of stickers with full-screen effects – which can be seen by all users. More premium stickers from Telegram artists are added every month.
