Telegram is now seen testing several features in diversifying the platform's income. After starting to display advertising on their application, in addition to introducing the Telegram Premium plan, now another paid feature that is being tested is the function of paying to see a special share.
Through ongoing testing, it shows an obscured sharing – and users have to pay before they can see it.
This may allow an exclusive partnership to be locked behind a fee – thus allowing the content owner to generate additional income.
However, it was found that Apple wanted a 30% cut for the payment, thus making Telegram cancel this feature on iOS devices.
