All bots, regardless of settings, will receive: All service messages. All messages from private chats with users. All messages from channels where they are a member.
Bots have legitimate uses on the popular chat apps, but are being exploited by cybercriminals. Cybercriminals are using bots deployed in popular messaging apps Discord and Telegram to steal credentials, new research has revealed.
With Telegram bots are not private. Everybody can find them. The difference is that a certain communication channel with the bot can be made private. This is a group with the bot that you and the bot are members of.
In order to send a message to "@Username", you will need them to start your bot, and then store the username with the user_id. Then, you can input the username to find the correct user_id each time you want to send them a message.
A bot has access to:
The bot can only extract this info from a Message (i.e. it cannot query the group member's names).
If privacy mode is disabled, the bot can read all messages sent in a group. If it is enabled, a bot is only receives messages aimed directly at the bot (e.g. using a command or a reply to a message from the bot). A user is able to check whether a bot has Privacy mode enabled/disabled in the list of group members.
Sidenote: take care when adding bots to a group that have privacy mode disabled, since they might be maliciously storing messages.
