Parameters: chat_id (``int`` | ``str``): Unique identifier (int) or username (str) of the target chat. For your personal cloud (Saved Messages) you can simply use "me" or "self". For a contact that exists in your Telegram address book you can use his phone number (str). message_ids (``int`` | List of ``int``): A list of Message identifiers to delete (integers) or a single message id. revoke (``bool``, *optional*): Deletes messages on both parts. This is only for private cloud chats and normal groups, messages on channels and supergroups are always revoked (i.e.: deleted for everyone). Defaults to True. Returns: ``int``: Amount of affected messages Example: .. code-block:: python # Delete one message await app.delete_messages(chat_id, message_id) # Delete multiple messages at once await app.delete_messages(chat_id, list_of_message_ids) # Delete messages only on your side (without revoking) await app.delete_messages(chat_id, message_id, revoke=False) """ peer = await self.resolve_peer(chat_id) # Follow type annotation of the raw function "DeleteMessage". if not isinstance(message_ids, list): message_ids = [message_ids] if isinstance(peer, raw.types.InputPeerChannel): r = await self.invoke( raw.functions.channels.DeleteMessages( channel=peer, id=message_ids ) ) else: r = await self.invoke( raw.functions.messages.DeleteMessages( id=message_ids, revoke=revoke or None # Follow the type annotation. ) ) # Deleting messages you don't have right onto won't raise any error. # Check for pts_count, which is 0 in case deletes fail. return r.pts_count
