Telegram Stories Not Available Without Premium on iPhone 14

For about five months now I have been unable to post stories (status) on the Telegram mobile app on my iPhone 14. Every time I try to post a story, the app shows a message saying that posting stories is only available to Telegram Premium subscribers. I want to use the basic story/status feature without having to buy Premium. I do not need Premium and I am not interested in extra paid features; I only want to be able to post my own status like a normal user. I request that my account be enabled for free story/status posting or that you provide a clear solution so I can use this feature without having to subscribe to Telegram Premium.
