Tips & Things to Watch For

Subscription Continues After Cancellation Until Period Ends

Pro Tip

Following standard app store subscription practices, when you cancel Telegram Premium, you retain access to Premium features until the end of your current billing period. There is no immediate loss of service upon cancellation, and no pro-rated refunds for unused time. This allows you to cancel immediately after subscribing if unsatisfied, while still accessing features for the full month/year paid.

App Store/Google Play Refund Policies Apply

Pro Tip

Since Telegram Premium is purchased through app stores rather than directly from Telegram, standard App Store and Google Play refund policies apply. Apple typically allows refunds within 48 hours if you haven't used the service, requested through reportaproblem.apple.com. Google Play allows refunds within 2 hours of purchase through the Play Store app, and up to 48 hours via web request for extenuating circumstances.
