Can you gift Telegram Premium with Stars?
Yes. Since 7 March 2025, Telegram lets you use Stars to gift Premium to friends. Telegram pitched it at people who earn Stars from paid messages, so they can share Premium "without spending extra money". Telegram doesn't publish a fixed Stars price for a Premium gift; the app shows it when you choose the plan. To top up first, see how to buy Telegram Stars.
