Subject:

It's not getting group chat messages

Apparently, it's not getting group chat messages. I'm using the boilerplate bot and it simply does not get into the "criteria" function if the bot is in a group chat.

Non-issue either. By default privacy mode is enabled, meaning it does not get all group chat messages. It can only get them if it's added as an admin in a group (probably a supergroup).

Nothing to do with supergroups. The bot needs to be set (via Telegram's @botfather) to receive all messages via /setprivacy I will put a note in the documentation though! Thanks. However, bots (all bots) will see all messages that start with a leading slash.
