By default, your bot can only see messages in /command@YourBotName format, or reply to its message.

To receive all messages, please goto @BotFather, and turn off privacy mode, then re-invite your bot to group.

/setprivacy — Set which messages your bot will receive when added to a group. With privacy mode disabled, the bot will receive all messages.

clearly irrelevant answer. Does it answers `get messages from channel/group` ? It just answers `/setprivacy`. – Gray Programmerz Apr 07 '21 at 17:17
