Watch out
- Premium is personal: you can't buy it for a channel, group or bot.
- Files up to 4 GB instead of 2 GB; up to 1000 joined channels and groups instead of 500; 20 public channels and groups of your own instead of 10; story captions up to 2048 characters instead of 200; up to 100 stories a day.
- When it ends, you keep your usernames but can't add public ones while owning 10 or more; your bio shows only its first 70 characters.
- Premium readers don't see Telegram's sponsored messages, but see your own promo posts.
With Gem
Gem does nothing with Telegram Premium. Nearby, it prepares stories: a 9:16 picture and caption from a post or about the project; you tap Publish story and Telegram's story editor opens with them.
