Telegram widget restrictions… Regular bots blocked from sending new messages in private chats

Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Telegram has restricted HTML widget messages from standard bots in private chats, with developers reporting an `INPUT_MEDIA_WIDGET_NOT_ALLOWED` error via the Bot API GitHub repository since the early hours of the 14th. One reporter said the same bot had successfully delivered about 120 widgets before the restriction took effect. Unlike errors tied to message length or HTML formatting, the new response blocks widget transmission outright. Telegram Bot API contributor levlam confirmed on GitHub that standard bots can no longer use widgets in private chats. The change matters because widgets underpin interactive bot interfaces, and developers will be watching whether Telegram restores access, extends the limit to other chat types, or forces a migration to alternative message formats.
