Some more information about the upcoming sponsored messages feature appeared on the official localization platform.

What is currently known:

  • Sponsored messages is advertisement from the Telegram itself, not the channel admins.
  • Advertisers can select channels they want to show their message on.
  • Sponsored messages are an experiment for now and are being tested.
  • For the testing period, only Telegram will make a profit from the advertising.
  • As soon as Telegram will cover its main spends, the profit will be shared with participating channels owners too.
  • In future the messenger website will have a panel for buying ads.
  • Sponsored messages are located below all the channel posts (you need to swipe down to see it).
  • According to Telegram's announcements, the ads won't be targeted and will not contain external links.
