hello guys how can i like skip unread messages whenever i start the bot, it replies to older messages, and i want to skip that i want it to reply only to the new messages any ideas ?

You can have the bot assume all messages that come through for the first 3-5 seconds . Alternatively you can compare the unix timestamp of the messages and only approve the messages that come after the time you started the bot
