Telegram released a beta version for its application that includes a new 'Telegram Premium' service. Currently, the service only offers one feature, which is emojis and reactions. The messaging service does not include these features on its own, and as of the newest update, users can choose to pay for a subscription in order to send a wider range of emojis or react to messages with emojis in a chat room.
The company debuted this feature without any official statement, meaning it is more than likely that the feature is not yet complete and that more perks will be tied to Telegram Premium when an official announcement is made. However, due to the feature's current integration with the mobile application, it is expected that an announcement will be made in the coming weeks.
