If the bot works in the editor and goes silent once published — or the reverse — that's this. Publish, then test with the real bot.\n\n2. **In groups, privacy mode hides normal messages.** By default a bot only receives commands and replies/mentions. Either keep it to commands, or turn privacy mode off via BotFather → `/setprivacy`.",
