Telegram Premium has almost 3.5 million subscribers

In Pavel Durov's latest blog post, while discussing the updates, he mentioned the number of Telegram Premium subscribers, which is "almost 3.5 million."

Based on previous statements from the messenger, Telegram actively engages with 800 million monthly users, providing an approximate estimate of the Premium user base at 0.4% or roughly one in every 233 users.

In December, 2022, we reported that Telegram reached 1 million Premium subscribers. So, in just under a year, the messenger has managed to attract an additional 2.5 million Premium users.

🚀 TON set the record for the fastest blockchain in the world!

😎We were right to choose TON as the blockchain platform for Telegram. From a technological standpoint, competitors are years behind in scalability. Bitcoin is likely to stay, but other general-purpose blockchains look obsolete 👎

Unknown Error When Paying for Telegram Premium

Our readers report an error which occurs when paying for Telegram Premium. The message looks like this:

Sorry, the transaction has failed.
Description of the error from payment provider:
Something went wrong. Try again later


Alas, Telegram only provides a general error message and doesn’t tell how to solve the problem. The team at @tginfo takes the task and introduces a new FAQ article on the subject:

Telegram enforces penalties for sending Open Message links

Our users have reported that if you send a link that starts with tg open message (without spaces) to another user in a private chat, you may face consequences, including being kicked out of your account or receiving a spam ban. In some cases, the punishment may be even more severe, including the deletion of your account or the blocking of your phone number.

The @tginfo editorial team strongly advises against sending such links in private chats or any other types of chats (groups, bots, channels) in the near future.

P.S. Please remember that these links can be used to reference a user by their (numeric) ID.
P.P.S. The issue was initially reported by the user @Mrak_a; The editorial team thanks him for the information.

Delete Large Telegram Channels and Groups Without Support Involvement

Readers have reported that in the latest versions of the Telegram app, users can now delete large channels and groups on their own, without needing to contact support. Previously, attempts to delete a sizable channel resulted in an error message; channel deletion required submitting a request to Telegram's support.

A source close to Telegram informed @tginfo that this change is intentional and is not a mistake.

To delete a channel or group with a thousand or more participants, the owner must meet several requirements:

• The user's session must have been active for several days.
• The account must be secured with a cloud password.
• The password should have been enabled several days prior.

If even one of these criteria isn't met, you won't be able to delete a large channel or group.

The updated Telegram apps now require several clicks to delete a channel. After the final confirmation, it shows an additional five second countdown timer for users to reverse the action.

The messenger didn't update its docs yet — it still claims it's impossible to delete a large channel with an API request.

Giveaways in Channels and Free Premium

Starting today, Telegram channel owners can hold giveaways, randomly distributing prizes among subscribers. This is a great way to advertise your channel, attract new audiences, or reward current subscribers.

Thanks to this, millions of users will be able to win a free Telegram Premium subscription and other prizes, and Telegram will guarantee that the winners were chosen fairly.

⚠️ The new features were enabled on the server side, however we recommend that you update your application to the latest version.

Free Telegram Premium subscription
• Channel owners can create a draw and set the conditions for it with just a couple of clicks.
• On the date set by the channel owner, Telegram will randomly select winners from among users who meet the specified criteria.
• Winners receive gift codes, which can serve as a confirmation of winning in the giveaway.
• Each gift code activates a free Telegram Premium subscription, but organizers can add their own rewards to the subscription.
• For each Premium subscription won, the channel automatically receives 4 boosts.
• These boosts cannot be transferred to another channel — they will remain with the organizing channel for the duration of the distributed free Telegram Premium subscriptions.

Creating a giveaway in a channel
• In addition to the number of winners and the duration of the draw, the organizers, if desired, can limit the number of participants only to new channel subscribers or residents of certain countries.
• Additionally, you can specify additional channels that users need to subscribe to in order to participate in the giveaway.
• Channels of any level can organize a giveaway — to do this, just go to Channel Profile > ⋮ or ⋯ > Statistics > Boosts.

How to pay for a Telegram Premium giveaway
• Before the giveaway starts, the organizer must pay for the selected number of Premium subscriptions.
• You can make a payment in any Telegram application — but it's best to use the @PremiumBot bot or the Fragment platform.
• More subscriptions are possible through @PremiumBot, as Google Play and App Store limit the maximum payment amount.
• On the Fragment platform, you can purchase thousands of subscriptions at once (for a large-scale giveaway).

More boosts for Premium users
• Now users who pay for the subscription themselves receive 4 boosts.
• All these boosts can be given to one channel — or distributed among several.
• If you give Telegram Premium to another user, they get 1 boost, and you get 3 additional ones.
• If you get a subscription for winning the giveaway, then all 4 boosts will remain with the organizing channel.

Payment for Giveaway Subscriptions

• Payment can be made in any Telegram app, but it's more advantageous to use the @PremiumBot or the Fragment platform.

• To pay for a larger number of subscriptions, you can use @PremiumBot, because Google Play and the App Store limit the maximum payment amount.

Now every channel on Telegram can host FAIR giveaways.

What’s a giveaway?

It’s when someone promises to give out prizes to random followers 😏😏😏

Many giveaways on social media were scams. There was no way to prove the winner was chosen fairly 😐

Until now. Telegram is the first social media platform to natively support giveaways with guaranteed random selection + prepaid prize funds 🤑

Custom Reactions for Telegram Channels

In the Beta version of Telegram for macOS, a mention of custom reactions on channels appeared.

The @tginfo editors believe that the function will be available to channels from a certain level, similar to personal colors for a channel.

Changes in The Telegram Boost System

On November 6th, administrators of channels gained the ability to organize giveaways. At the same time, the logic of receiving and using boosts changed. The @tginfo team explains all the main changes in the boost system.

Boost for users
Now users receive:
• 4 boosts for buying a paid subscription;
• 3 boosts for gifting a subscription to another user;
• 1 boost for receiving a subscription as a gift from another user.
• No boots for receiving a subscription as a gift from a channel.

Each boost is available to a user throughout the entire period of validity of the corresponding Premium subscription. For example, if you bought a 12-month subscription, you will have four boosts for one year. If you gifted a 3-month subscription to your friend, he will have three additional boosts for three months.

Using boosts
A user can give all their boosts to one or several channels. If they didn't give away all their boosts before November 6th, then after this date the may have a few new unused boosts.

Viewing information about boosts
A user can see information about their boosts only when they have given away all their boosts: until then this information is not available to them. If a user without any free boosts tries to boost a channel, the app will show a list of used boosts with information about their validity periods and the channels they were given to.

Boosts for channels
Before November 6th, a channel had to gain a certain number of boosts to progress to the next level. After November 6th, this number was increased — to 0.4%.
