Dialog Spy Bot
Mirrors messages sent to you so you can still see them if the sender deletes or edits them — hugely popular (300k+ monthly users), but be aware it means everyone in a chat with this bot has their messages logged, not just yours.
Key features
- Shows messages after they've been deleted by the sender
- Captures edits to reveal the original text
- Covers text, photos, videos, voice messages and self-destructing messages
- Large, established user base with dedicated support
Dialog Spy Bot
DialogSpyBot captures changes to your conversations in real time: if someone deletes a message they sent you, or edits one after the fact, the bot has already stored a copy and sends it to you separately, covering text, edits, photos, videos, voice messages and Telegram's disappearing "bomb" messages. With a public profile showing over 305,000 monthly users and a dedicated support bot (@DSpyHelpBot), it is by a wide margin the most established bot of its kind in this subtopic.
The underlying use case is a real one — someone sends something in anger and deletes it moments later, or edits a message to change what they originally said, and you'd rather know what actually happened. That is a legitimate personal-transparency need, and it is why bots like this exist in such volume across Telegram.
The honest caveat, and the reason it does not receive a top safety score here: this only works because the bot receives and stores a copy of every message sent to you (or in a group it's added to) before any deletion can happen — meaning the people messaging you are having their messages logged by a third-party bot, typically without their own knowledge or consent. Using it is not illegal, but it is worth being transparent with people you regularly message that you use a tool like this, and think twice before adding it to a group where not everyone would agree to being logged this way.

Does the person I'm messaging know their deleted messages are saved?
Not automatically — the bot works silently on your side, so be transparent with people you regularly message if you use it, especially in shared groups.
Is this legal to use?
Using it is not illegal, but it does raise privacy and consent questions for the people messaging you — use your judgment, particularly in group chats.
