If you want to receive only messages from a certain user, then enable this setting and set up a filter for the user’s name with a command /filter.
Please notice that the bot can’t magically find the information about the author if it’s not present in the message. So if you don’t see this information in the message in your Telegram client, then this setting will not have any effect.
Shorten long messages
Long messages will be shortened to a certain length. Under the shortened message there will be a button to show a full text. Recommended values are between 150 (twitter-like posts) and 1000 (several paragraphs). To disable this feature set this value to 0.
