PANews reported on February 28 that according to Beta Info, the Android version of Telegram 11.8 Beta has added a number of new Star Coin-related features, including paid messages, Star Coin withdrawals, and Star Coin purchases of Premium, and is currently only available on the test server.

• Paid messages: Premium users can set private message charges in Settings > Privacy and Security > Messages and add free exceptions to the list. Senders must pay Star Coins, and the platform takes a 15% commission.
