Nothing disappears
without a trace.
PIPA captures deleted and edited messages, plus disappearing media — so you always know what really happened in your chats.
PIPA in brief
PIPA (@pipa_official_bot) is a Telegram bot that, via official Chat automation or Telegram Business, records deleted messages, edits with a before → after diff, and view-once media in chats you select. Notifications go only to your private chat with the bot; your contact is not alerted. It works after you connect — it does not recover history from before that. 14 days free, then Telegram Stars with no bank card.
- Chat automation: Settings → Chat automation — bot @pipa_official_bot, pick chats.
- Or Telegram Business: Settings → Telegram Business → Chat bots — same username and coverage.
- 14 days free, then Telegram Stars — no card.
- Your contact is not notified you connected a bot.
- No visibility before you connect chats; limits are the Telegram API and your coverage.

What PIPA can do
Full visibility into what is happening in your chats
Deleted messages
If your contact deletes a message — PIPA instantly sends you a copy. Text, photos, videos, voice messages and documents.
Edited messages
Shows "before → after" with character-level markup. See exactly what was changed and how.
Disappearing media
View-once photos/videos and spoiler-hidden media. The bot adds a "Show" button right in your PIPA chat.
How it works
Three steps — and you know everything
Connect PIPA to your profile
@pipa_official_bot: Settings → Chat automation or Settings → Telegram Business → Chat bots (if you have that section). Missing the item on desktop — use the latest mobile Telegram.
Chat as usual
The bot runs in the background. No changes to your normal conversations — your contact has no idea.
Get notified
Everything your contact tried to hide is delivered straight to your chat with the bot.
Only you.
No one else.
Notifications go exclusively to your chat with the bot. Data is encrypted and never stored on third-party servers.
Who built PIPA
PIPA is built by a small team working with the Telegram Business API and personal chat automation. We ran into cases where contacts deleted or edited important messages — Telegram has no built-in archive for that. Unlike unofficial apps, PIPA does not ask for account access on third-party platforms.
- We use only the official Telegram Business API — no workarounds.
- We do not store chats on third-party servers: notifications stay in your bot chat.
- Support is available in Telegram and by email — we answer product and setup questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I connect the bot?
Settings → Chat automation or Settings → Telegram Business → Chat bots — bot @pipa_official_bot.
Learn moreDo I need Telegram Premium?
No. Anyone can connect PIPA via Settings → Chat automation — Telegram Premium is not required.
Will my contact know about the bot?
No. PIPA works silently — your contact receives no notifications about your connection.
What media files does the bot capture?
View-once photos and videos, as well as any media hidden behind a spoiler.
Learn moreWhere do notifications go?
Only to your personal chat with the bot. No third-party services, no third parties at all.
Is there a free trial?
14 days free right after connecting. No card required — payment via Telegram Stars.
Can deleted Telegram messages be “restored” officially?
In regular chats, Telegram does not give users a full recycle bin of everything that was deleted. PIPA does not pull copies from Telegram’s servers — it records events after you connect and forwards copies to your bot chat within what the Telegram Business API allows.
Learn moreCan the bot see chats from before I connected?
No. Only events after you connect @pipa_official_bot and choose chats.
How long are notifications and logs kept?
They arrive in your bot chat as normal Telegram messages: you choose what to keep or delete. We do not publish them to third-party services.
Which chats does PIPA work in?
The bot receives events where the Telegram API and your coverage settings support it. Secret chats use end-to-end encryption and are not compatible with this kind of integration.
How do I save a view-once photo in Telegram?
View-once photos and videos cannot be saved with Telegram’s default tools after you view them. After you connect @pipa_official_bot to selected chats, PIPA forwards view-once media to your private bot chat — with a “Show” button. The bot sees nothing before you connect; secret chats are not supported.
Learn moreHow can I see deleted messages in Telegram?
Telegram does not show your contact’s deleted messages in the normal UI. PIPA does not restore an archive from before you connect — but after you connect @pipa_official_bot, when a message is deleted in a covered chat, you get a copy in your bot chat. Only events after connection and within your chat coverage.
Learn moreHow can I see edited messages in Telegram?
Telegram shows only the final text of an edited message — edit history is not available in the UI. After you connect @pipa_official_bot, PIPA records each edit and sends a “before → after” diff with character-level markup to your bot chat. Only events after connection and in selected chats.
Learn moreWhere is Chat automation on my phone?
In the latest mobile Telegram: Settings → Chat automation — add @pipa_official_bot and select chats. If you do not see it, update the app or try Settings → Telegram Business → Chat bots. The section may be missing on desktop — use your phone.
Learn moreHow much does PIPA cost after the trial?
The first 14 days are free after your first connection. After that, pay with Telegram Stars inside Telegram — no bank card and no sign-up on this site. Exact price and renewal are in your chat with @pipa_official_bot.
Learn moreIs it legal to use a bot to save chats?
PIPA uses the official Telegram Business API and Chat automation — an allowed way to automate. You are responsible for lawful use of notifications in your jurisdiction (for example, consent where required). The bot does not hack accounts or bypass secret-chat encryption.
