Description

I have a telegram bot that uses deep links for making actions. When I generate QR codes for that links and scan them - only the first scan goes well, and second does not run "start" command with params.

The same behaviour can be reproduced by opening several link in browser and open them one by one. Only the first will trigger "start" command and the second does nothing. To overcome this behavior telegram app needs to be re-launched.

Or the easiest way is to try opening same deep link a couple of times. The second will not work.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior - "start" command triggers each time by deep link

Actual Behavior

Currently "start" command triggers only first time

Steps to Reproduce

Way 1

1. Open http://t.me/bot-name?start=command_with_parrams in the browser
2. Click "Send Message" -> "Open in Telegram". I will submit "start" command
3. Come back to the browser and try to do the same -> No "start" command submited (same will be if open 2 different http://t.me/bot-name?start=command_with_parrams_1 and http://t.me/bot-name?start=command_with_parrams_2)

Way 2

1. Generate 2 QR codes base on deep links http://t.me/bot-name?start=command_with_parrams_1 & http://t.me/bot-name?start=command_with_parrams_2
2. Scan first QR code -> I will submit "start" command
3. Scan second QR code -> I will NOT submit "start" command

Same issue for pretty long time. But in my case I do not need to press "send message" button, I'm just getting redirected automatically into the app with no start command.

Bumping up. Seems like an iOS bug, Mac app is fine.

Hello, community, Any update on this, I am facing the same issue only on iPhone

If a dialogue with the bot is opened in the Telegram application and a direct link is made to the bot with a tag from another application, then there is no reaction. If you close either the dialog or the Telegram application, then everything comes fine

same problem

[fengyuxx]

Still exist

I think we can solve this problem by adding a timestamp parameter to the link so that each link is different.

[vzhilov]

The only workaround so far is to restart (swipe up) the Telegram App on iOS (iPhone and iPad)

I noticed this too and it kills usability of my bot...

Unfortunately, timestamp doesn't help. I checked.
