I have an active Telegram Premium subscription, but Telegram for macOS (Swift) shows a Premium upsell when I try to view read time for certain forwarded messages.
Steps to reproduce
- Open Telegram for macOS (Swift).
- Open any group chat.
- Forward a message from another user in that group to Saved Messages.
- Go to Saved Messages, right-click the forwarded message, select - Show Read Date.
Expected
With Premium active, Show Read Date should display the read time (or at least not show a Premium upsell).
Actual
A “Show Your Read Time” dialog appears offering “Show my Read Time to Everyone” or “Subscribe to Telegram Premium”, even though Premium is active (Premium page shows “Your Premium Subscription is active …”). On iPhone, the same flow does not show this upsell.
Environment
• Device: MacBook Pro M4
• OS: macOS Tahoe 26.2
• App version: 12.3.277495 (Stable)
