Telegram Premium “This Item Is Already Yours” Error After Payment

16

On my Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro Android phone, I purchased a Telegram Premium subscription through the Telegram app and Google Play, with the payment charged to my Vodafone mobile phone bill. During the purchase process, I agreed to the one-time SMS fee and the offer for a one-week Telegram Premium subscription for $1, and the charge was added to my phone bill.

However, since approximately August 12, 2026, whenever I try to use my Premium account, I receive the message, “Error: This item is already yours.” The app behaves as though I already have a Premium subscription, but I cannot access any of the Premium features or use my account properly. Because of this error, I cannot purchase the subscription again, nor can I use my existing subscription normally.

I want the Telegram Premium service I paid for to be properly and fully activated on my account. I am requesting that the “This item is already yours” error be resolved so that I can log in to the app normally and use the Premium features without interruption. I also ask that this issue be investigated and permanently resolved as soon as possible.
