Chat Settings

Main Walkthrough 17 of 25

Administrators can change a chat’s details and behavior.

Changing the Title and Description

With setChatTitle and setChatDescription, you can update a group, supergroup, or channel.

await client.setChatTitle(chatId, "MTKruto Community");
await client.setChatDescription(chatId, "A place to discuss MTKruto.");

An empty description removes the current one.

await client.setChatPhoto(chatId, "./community.jpg");

deleteChatPhoto removes the current photo.

await client.deleteChatPhoto(chatId);

setSlowMode lets you limit how often members can send messages in a supergroup.

await client.setSlowMode(chatId, "30s");

See SlowModeDuration for the available durations. disableSlowMode turns slow mode off.

To automatically delete messages after a number of seconds, call setMessageTtl.

await client.setMessageTtl(chatId, 7 * 24 * 60 * 60);

setDefaultMessageTtl sets the auto-delete period applied to new chats.

await client.setDefaultMessageTtl(7 * 24 * 60 * 60);

getChatSettings returns the current user’s settings for a chat.

const settings = await client.getChatSettings(chatId);
