However, this is not the first social media app to charge its users. Earlier, Telegram confirmed that it is working on a premium subscription feature for its users, which is reported to be released this month.
“After thinking for a while, we realized that the only way to allow our most demanding fans to get more, while keeping their existing features free, is to make these increased limits a paid option,” Durov said in a blog post.

“That’s why we will present Telegram Premium, a subscription plan that allows everyone to acquire additional features, speed and resources,” he added.
In 2021, Twitter also launched its Blue service.
While for Snapchat, this will be the first subscription product. The social media platform allows users to interact with each other through content stories, photo responses, play games and scroll through a TikTok-like feature called Spotlight and more.
