Bots and Research

Bot API 10.2 👻 Ephemeral Messages • Bots can now send ephemeral group messages that are visible only to a specific user – ideal for welcome messages, whispers, summaries and more. • Out of the box, ephemeral messages support most media types. • Bot commands can now be marked as ephemeral, letting users discretely reach out to bots in groups. • Bots can easily reply to ephemeral messages or delete them before they expire. 📝 Rich Messages • Bots can now build outgoing rich messages directly from structured entity blocks, as an alternative to Markdown or HTML. • Rich messages using Markdown or HTML can now explicitly attach embedded media like photos, videos, animations and more. 💬 Communities • Introduced initial support for Communities — several groups, channels, and bots linked together around a shared topic or audience. • Bots can already check which Community a chat belongs to and detect relevant service messages. • And more, see the full changelog for details: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api-changelog#july-14-2026 ⚠ Warning: Starting July 20, 2026, Mini App methods will be restricted to the respective Mini App domain. Developers can opt out through the @BotFather Mini App. Read more here.
