All questions and answers
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 We do not publish them to third-party services.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.
