Need help clearing my bot’s description text
I previously used the /setdescription command through BotFather to add a description to my Telegram bot. Now when people visit my bot’s profile page, they see the section that says What Can This Bot do? with the description I wrote.
I want to completely remove this description section from my bot’s profile. Is there a way to clear or delete the bot description so that the What Can This Bot do? section doesn’t appear anymore? I’ve tried looking through BotFather commands but I’m not sure which one would work for removing the description entirely rather than just changing it.
Had this exact problem a few months ago while cleaning up one of my bots. Just use /setdescription in BotFather but send empty content. When it asks for the new description, send a blank message - literally hit enter with nothing typed. This wipes the description completely and removes the ‘What Can This Bot do?’ section from your bot’s profile. I thought there’d be a separate delete command, but turns out sending an empty description is how Telegram handles it.
Yep, that’s the right way to do it. I ran into the same issue last year when trying to remove my bot description. Just use /setdescription in BotFather, and when it asks for the new description, hit enter without typing anything. This sends an empty string and wipes the description completely. The profile section disappears within a few minutes. I tried looking for commands like /deletedescription or /cleardescription but they don’t exist. The empty response trick is how Telegram officially handles bot description removal.
totally get ya! just hit up /setdescription, then when it asks for a desc, just hit enter without typing anything. it’ll clear it out. took me a bit to figure it too! no delete cmd, just the empty response works.
