How to hide Telegram BOT teams when they are part of a group?

I am trying to use Telegram BOT to send messages to a group. Firstly, I thought this was enough to find out the group chat id, but it is not. BOT MUST be part of this group. Well, that makes sense, but the problem is this: when you add a BOT to a group (a large group in this case), everyone starts to see a new icon on their devices, a slash icon. And what are they doing? They click on it, see a list of commands, select one of them, and suddenly everyone receives a new message from the group: "/ something". Imagine dozens of people doing this? This is pretty annoying. So, any of them will work for me:

1) Can I send messages from BOT to a group without this BOT in the group? 2) Can I have some kind of “no methods” BOT that only send messages? 3) Is it possible to disconnect the slash icon from clients so that I do not have a “bot-method of war” in the group?

thanks

  • No, you cannot send bots to a group without entering this group.
  • You can simply not install commands using BotFather, and then clients will not display commands.
  • This is always there if the bot is in the current chat, but here is what it does without the commands installed in BotFather:
