Separate message_ids in the same post

[Silver-will]

Hi there, I recently noticed that if a message is sent containing several media files then an updateNewMessage response is sent to my update handler as many times as there are media files in said message. And each time the updateNewMessage object has a separate message ID for each media file. So the question is can i somehow get every media file in a single message response all containing the same message id?

No, but you can identify all messages from the media album using message.media_album_id field.

@levlam Thank you, grouping them by their media_album_id worked perfectly. This is slightly unrelated but is there a way to send multiple media files with the api? InputMessagePhoto can only take 1 Input File. So do i have to create a new message object for each file, Then recursively call sendMessage ?

You need to use the method sendMessageAlbum.
