Automatic charges for Telegram Premium subscription
Users have noticed @PremiumBot renews the subscription a day before the scheduled date.
Automatic Renewal FAQ
• How to disable automatic renewal?
Send the
• Why did the renewal happen before my subscription expired?
It's a common practice for subscriptions to renew a day (or even sooner) before the expiration. You can see this happening in the App Store and Google Play too. Although the @PremiumBot tells you the "next payment date", it seems like the developers didn't consider the fact that the bot can renew subscriptions earlier. The date the bot tells you is actually the expiration date for your subscription in case you cancel it.
• Why the date shifted back in the next month?
It looks like @PremiumBot considers a month to be a 30-day period. There's still a probability for this to be an error, but the messenger team didn't comment on this regard.
• Why did the price in @PremiumBot get lower?
In first few days after the sells started, Telegram was still adjusting the prices in some regions, like Russia, so in some markets price got lower. You don't need to cancel the subscription and resubscribe to get the new price.
• Will there be compensation if I paid more in the first month due to the price adjustments?
No, compensation for price fluctuations in June is not planned.
• Why is the price for Telegram Premium higher in App Store and Google Play?
Because of App Store and Google Play fees, and also local taxes in some markets.
The subscription is cheaper to get with the @PremiumBot. Because of digital app stores rules, the bot only works on webz.telegram.org and Telegram apps downloaded from telegram.org. The bot won't start in apps installed from app stores or third parties.
• I didn't set the "Save Information for future use" checkbox while entering my payment data, but I was still automatically charged!
This checkbox is responsible for one-time payments in bots. Telegram Premium is a subscription.
Subscriptions don't store your payment data. Instead, they "tokenize" your card. This means the store asks for a special key from your bank, which allows the merchant to make regular payments without storing your card info. These keys usually continue to work even if you re-issue the card because of its expiry, or if you do it manually. Some banks allow revoking such keys from their online banking apps.

Animated Emoji Sets
In Beta version of Telegram for Android, you can see sets of animated emojis.
The standard emoji categories are now collapsed into a carousel, and the rest of the panel space will be used in the future to scroll through custom emoji sets.
The update will allow you to use stickers as emojis inside text messages. There will be both animated sets by the Telegram team, and custom sets from ordinary users — static and video emojis.
It is likely that only Premium users will be able to use custom emoji sets.

After extensive media coverage of my previous post, Apple got back to us with a demand to water down our pending Telegram update by removing Telemoji – higher quality vector-animated versions of the standard emoji.
This is a puzzling move on Apple's behalf, because Telemoji would have brought an entire new dimension to its static low-resolution emoji and would have significantly enriched their ecosystem.
But it's good for Telegram long term, as we will now make Telemoji even more unique and recognizable. Besides, we have included 10 other emoji packs in today's update – together with the ability for any user to upload their own emoji.

It was an interesting engineering challenge to ensure that hundreds of vector-based emoji with smooth animations could simultaneously play on the screen of any mobile phone. Telegram is the first company ever to have implemented this in a mobile app.
Adding custom emoji to the text of any message is just the first step of the upcoming visual revolution on Telegram. In a few weeks, users will be able to add any custom emoji as a reaction to a message and display an emoji as their current status next to their name.
All of this will become available to Premium subscribers first, because they are the ones who make it possible for Telegram to stay free and private for everyone.
