The TDLight Telegram Bot API is an actively enhanced fork of the original Bot API, featuring experimental user support, proxies, unlimited files size, and more.
When logging in as a user, getUpdates only yields updates for incoming messages, outgoing ones are ignored. This is most likely a "remnant" of the bots-only API and I assume the same holds true for webhooks.
Without this feature, it makes creating /command-based userbots nearly impossible (as the program can't react to whatever you do in your normal Telegram application).
