there are 2 ways to get all the messages of a group:

1.your bot should be added as an admin in that group.

disable privacy mode in settings of your bot via @botfather(it is enabled as default(except for bots that are added as admin))

Bots have a privacy setting that stops them from reading everything that is sent in a group. You can disable this privacy setting by talking to @botfather, or make your bot an admin of the group (admins see everything regardless of the privacy setting).

With the BotFather option just tell him /setprivacy, then choose your bot, and then choose Disable.

Admin settings are on the top_pencil_drawing / administrators if your are on the phone, and on the three_dots_menu / Manage Group / administrators if on desktop.
