The bot will go down for an update.

This update will fix forwarding from channels/groups with forwarding restricted.

Expected downtime: 10 minutes.

The bot is up again.

There has been a fix applied for channels and groups with forward restriction turned on.

The current fix takes a lot of server resources so if media size is more than 10 MB, it will be forwarded only for SUPER PREMIUM users. This restriction may be lifted after more extensive monitoring in the next few days.

10 MB limit will be fine for 90% of the users whose media forwarding only requires to forward images and small video files.

Update: Files with size>100MB will not be forwarded even for super premium users.

You might experience a bit of slowness due to today's update. Please report it in the support group so that I know about it and can work on improving it.

Telegram seems to be experiencing some issues causing a lot of bots to stop working.

If your forwarding is not working currently, please be patient while telegram gets back to normal.

The bot will go down in half an hour for an update.

This update will fix the issues that have been introduced in the last update.

1. Big news 🥳 - Media forwarding from forward restricted channels should work now (still not 100% reliable though).
2. If a grouped album of media is received in forward restricted channel, media will be forwarded one-by-one. This will be improved soon.
3. The problem with "Mobile number already in use" should be fixed now
4. Your forwarding will be stopped when your subscription changes (from member to free user or vice versa).
5. The /work command works better now, almost the same as /restart
