Telegram has made its Stories feature free for all users, moving it from behind a Premium subscription paywall. This strategic shift aims to boost engagement among its 800 million monthly active users, aligning with competitors like WhatsApp and Instagram.

• Free users are limited to posting one Story every 24 hours, while Premium subscribers can post up to 100 Stories daily.
• The main organization involved is Telegram.
• While the basic camera and drawing tools are free, advanced editing features, like clickable link stickers and custom expiration times, remain exclusive to Premium users.
