Remove service message

[v-shaal]

Can I remove the service message using the this
for eg

xyz joined the group
pqr left the group 

I want to remove the telegram message whenever user join or leave the group

A bot can remove messages https://stackoverflow.com/a/45285278/5457433 from groups and receive leave/join notifications ... not sure about service messages. It shouldn't be hard to set it up e.g. a bot that deletes all messages. I'll give it a shot.

php-telegram-bot/core#730 I am reffering to this , I am not sure about PHP though

Join/left messages are bundled in fields containing the users in Message.
Please try this, couldn't test it, but should work or be very close.

import info.mukel.telegrambot4s.api._
import info.mukel.telegrambot4s.methods._
import info.mukel.telegrambot4s.models._

/**
  * Remove join/left messages from groups.
  */
object GroupBot extends TelegramBot
  with Polling {
  lazy val token = "TOKEN"

  override def receiveMessage(msg: Message): Unit = {
    super.receiveMessage(msg)
    if (msg.newChatMembers.isDefined || msg.leftChatMember.isDefined)
      request(DeleteMessage(msg.source, msg.messageId))
  }
}

GroupBot.run()

It seems like a permission issue. The bot must be admin or have permission to delete messages.

Any updates on this?

works perfect after giving permission.

@$newmember = $result->message->new_chat_member->id;
@$leftmember = $result->message->left_chat_member->id;
@$gpid = $result->message->chat->id;
@$messageid = $result->message->message_id;
$telegram = new telegram(TOKEN,HOST,USERNAME,PASSWORD,DBNAME);
if(!empty($newmember)|| !empty($leftmember)){
$telegram->deleteMessage($gpid,$messageid);
die();
