You can now create a bot through another bot, provided it has Β«Bot Management ModeΒ» enabled in @BotFather. The new bot can have an additional username that doesn't end in the usual bot suffix.
Telegram's server configuration currently allows five suffixes: agent, ai, app, game, and gay.
The additional username does not replace the bot's primary username. Both remain available, while Telegram can use the new suffix to display a different status label in the bot's profile.
There are some limitations:
Γ Telegram Premium is required to use these additional usernames.
Γ Each bot can have only one additional username.
Γ A single account can have no more than two bots with these additional usernames, even if they use different suffixes.
Alternatively, you can create a bot with an additional username directly through @BotFather, without using another bot.
