My bot should clear stickers after a /launch command. Revised code:
from telegram.ext import Updater, MessageHandler, Filters
def remove_msg(update, context): context.bot.delete_message(update.effective_chat.id, update.message.message_id)
up = Updater("NEW_KEY")
up.dispatcher.add_handler(MessageHandler(Filters.sticker, remove_msg))
up.start_polling(); up.idle()
maybe your bot dont have admin permisions, so it cant delete stickers. check your token too to make sure it matches whats expectd. also log incoming updates to see if sticker msgs are passed thru
In my experience, problems like this often stem from permission issues or device-specific constraints. I encountered a similar situation where the bot was unable to delete messages because its admin privileges were not applied correctly in certain group settings. It is advisable to not only verify that the bot is granted full administrative rights but also to confirm that the correct chat IDs and contexts are being used. I found that implementing detailed logging helped identify where the deletion command was failing, thereby narrowing the potential causes. Examining the event filters and ensuring they capture the intended content can also be beneficial in resolving the issue.
In my experience, similar issues have sometimes been due to the timing of the deletion call rather than just permission issues. If the sticker message has not been fully processed before the deletion function is called, the call might fail silently. I added logging in my code to confirm the update was received and to monitor how quickly deletion was attempted. Moreover, ensuring that the bot is correctly set as an admin in the chat, particularly with all the necessary privileges enabled, is paramount. Careful stepping through the update handling can help identify if the problem lies elsewhere in the interaction.
hey, looks like a slight timing issue. try adding a small delay before deleting the sticker; it may not be fully processed yet. also verify your bot’s chat admin settings are consistent - sometimes group configs lead to silent failures.
