ViaCleanerBot is a Telegram bot for automatic removal of VIA messages (inline replies) in group chats. It targets messages sent via inline mode and helps keep discussions focused and readable.
How it works
Add the bot to a group or supergroup and grant it administrator rights with permission to delete messages. After that, it monitors the chat and removes messages marked as sent “via” an inline bot. Regular user messages remain untouched.
Use cases
The bot is useful for busy communities where inline bots are heavily used for GIFs, images, music, or quick searches. It reduces clutter, making it easier for members to follow the main conversation and for moderators to maintain structure.
Key features
- Works in groups and supergroups only
- Requires admin rights to delete messages
- Focuses specifically on inline/VIA messages, not general content moderation
