A comprehensive official documentation can be found here.

How to restrict sending multiple images in one message from a user to a telegram bot?

I’m making a telegram bot in Python that edits an image.

Tell me how to make it so that the user can send only one image in a message? But how can you control the number of images in a message from a user via the API?

I read the TelegramAPI documentation, but didn’t find anything on this topic. It seems to me that you cannot prevent a user from sending multiple images in one message. But then I would like the bot to see an attempt to send it several photos at a time and report this to the user.

Thanks for the answer 🙂

    Thanks everyone! Solved the problem with the help of Aditya Yadav's comment. Solution below:

    @bot.message_handler(content_types=['photo']) if not message.media_group_id: def function(message): ... else: bot.send_message(message.chat.id, "Please send only one image!")

    How about comparing the files’ extensions each time a user sends a message? For instance, the message could have a .png or .jpg suffix and there could be a limitation for their number of usage.

    Could be useful to check the message’s content, first.
