Can deleted Telegram messages be “restored” officially?

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 We do not publish them to third-party services.

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.

View-once photos and videos cannot be saved with Telegram’s default tools after you view them.
