Note that this event isn't 100% reliable, since Telegram doesn't always notify the clients that a message was deleted. .. important:: Telegram **does not** send information about *where* a message was deleted if it occurs in private conversations with other users or in small group chats, because message IDs are *unique* and you can identify the chat with the message ID alone if you saved it previously. Telethon **does not** save information of where messages occur, so it cannot know in which chat a message was deleted (this will only work in channels, where the channel ID *is* present). This means that the ``chats=`` parameter will not work reliably, unless you intend on working with channels and super-groups only. Example .. code-block:: python from telethon import events @client.on(events.MessageDeleted) async def handler(event): # Log all deleted message IDs for msg_id in event.deleted_ids: print('Message', msg_id, 'was deleted in', event.chat_id) """ @classmethod def build(cls, update, others=None, self_id=None): if isinstance(update, types.UpdateDeleteMessages): return cls.Event( deleted_ids=update.messages, peer=None ) elif isinstance(update, types.UpdateDeleteChannelMessages): return cls.Event( deleted_ids=update.messages, peer=types.PeerChannel(update.channel_id) ) class Event(EventCommon): def __init__(self, deleted_ids, peer): super().__init__( chat_peer=peer, msg_id=(deleted_ids or [0])[0] ) self.deleted_id = None if not deleted_ids else deleted_ids[0] self.deleted_ids = deleted_ids
