Earlier, Pavel Durov said that the existing features will remain free after its release, with Telegram Premium allowing for additional features.

Telegramโs founder drew attention to problems in the Safari mobile browser. Because of them, the messengerโs web version "cannot reach native-app-level quality on iOSโ.
According to Durov, the reason is that Apple "limits web developers in terms of what they can do on iPhones and iPads." The Cupertinians are doing this intentionally.
This is how users are forced to move from web apps to native apps, where Apple is able to charge its 30% commission. The head of Telegram is glad that regulators have started to realize what is going on. He mentioned a recent statement from the British regulator.
โIt's sad that, more than ten years after Steve Job's death, a company that once revolutionized mobile web turned into its most significant roadblock,โ - concluded Durov.
