### Bot-to-bot messages (Telegram limitation)
**Telegram Bot API does not deliver messages sent by other bots** — even if:
- Your bot is a group admin
- Privacy mode is disabled
This is a [Telegram Bot API limitation](https://core.telegram.org/bots/faq#why-does-my-bot-not-see-messages-from-other-bots) designed to prevent feedback loops. Your bot cannot read messages from other bots in groups or DMs.
If you need bot-to-bot communication, use out-of-band methods (HTTP calls, queues, or databases) instead of relying on Telegram group messages.
