Blocked for spam

Related to #330. After using this client for the first time and trying out the "delete all my messages" feature in a group chat my account has been in an indefinite cycle of being restricted for "spam". I cannot say for sure that it was caused by this feature but I haven't been spamming or messaging strangers and it occurred shortly thereafter.

I cannot send any messages in the group I used that feature in, and if I try my account gets restricted for 3 days every time. I can still message in any other group I'm already in.

Maybe we should display a warning in the app about the possibility of this happening to users.

So, why are you posting here instead of contacting the admins of that group?

Imo, any other feature threads like this should be silently closed without explanation...

What makes you think I haven't contacted the admins of the group? Silently closed without explanation sounds like a great way to collaborate on a project. Maybe work on your reading comprehension and tone down the arrogance.

The issue is Telegram-level and to do with their anti-spam system (known as Spam Info Bot to users). Which only triggered after using this client, so logically I think it's something the devs could look into and, should an issue with account restriction be observed, post a warning about in the app.

So, what is the reason for the restriction? Have they removed it?

This seems to be a Telegram issue and not related to this client (like the issue you linked). Nothing in your comment suggest otherwise.

How can you be certain? There's no way to know for sure, unless you contacted Telegram support and they confirmed it. Have you tried using this feature in other groups?

I have used the 'Delete all your messages' feature multiple times without any issues.
