“The number of Telegram Premium subscribers, which we introduced just 5 months ago, quickly exceeded 1 million,” Durov wrote in his Telegram channel.
According to him, the service has become one of the most successful examples of paid subscription programs in social networks.
He noted that Telegram Premium still makes up a small part of the company's revenue.
On June 10, Durov announced the launch of a premium subscription in the messenger in June 2022.
