copy_message()#

Client.copy_message()#

Copy messages of any kind.

Service messages, paid media messages, giveaway messages, giveaway winners messages, and invoice messages can’t be copied. A quiz poll can be copied only if the value of the field correct_option_id is known to the bot.

The method is analogous to the method forward_messages(), but the copied message doesn’t have a link to the original message.

Usable by ✅ Users ✅ Bots
