Warnings

MessageDeleted Event

Occurs whenever a message is deleted. Note that this event isn’t 100% reliable, since Telegram doesn’t always notify the clients that a message was deleted.

### Important ###

Telegram does not send information about where a message was deleted if it occurs in private conversations with other users or in small group chats, because message IDs are unique and you can identify the chat with the message ID alone if you saved it previously.

Telethon does not save information of where messages occur, so it cannot know in which chat a message was deleted (this will only work in channels, where the channel ID is present).

This means that the chats= parameter will not work reliably, unless you intend on working with channels and super-groups only.

Notes

MessageDeleted Event

Messages deleted by the bot are placed in an event array until manual deletion is carried out. When this manual deletion is carried out, all messages deleted up to this point are returned in the array, but the deleted_id of the event is the first element of the array, which may not match the last deleted message.

MessageDeleted.Event(original_update=UpdateDeleteChannelMessages(channel_id=2173968782, messages=[1238, 1239, 1240], pts=1327, pts_count=0), deleted_id=1238, deleted_ids=[1238, 1239, 1240])

When messages are deleted manually, the array has only one element that corresponds to the deleted_id.

MessageDeleted.Event(original_update=UpdateDeleteChannelMessages(channel_id=2173968782, messages=[1249], pts=1348, pts_count=1), deleted_id=1249, deleted_ids=[1249])

Future Features

• Add pin messages
• Add multiple channels to copy from and to send to
• Add keywords option (in code but not working)
