In Telegram, users can customize their privacy settings and choose which users can check their online status, call them, add them to groups, and other stuff. By subscribing to Telegram premium, you get more options to protect yourself from other users on the app.

One of the new features included in the premium subscription allows people to choose who can send them voice messages on the app. Like other privacy options, users can add exceptions to their settings to allow some people to override the rule they set on their accounts.

Here’s our guide about restricting voice messages on Telegram.
