What a world.
What did telegram do?
Decided it needed a subscription service.
To do what?
Sorry no I mean what does subscription get you that free does not?🤔
Mostly cosmetic stuff positioned in annoying places to bug you to subscribe, but some features like larger upload limit, faster downloads etc are paywalled.
Nothing that really stops the average user from using the client though. Still the best messaging app IMO, esp since the server storage is still unlimited. Newer features are still coming to free users. If they keep along this balance, the subscription push is fine for me.
Barely use it so I have not noticed that. Thanks man.
Like you need it for important functions like Calling or something?
