Your Question
I have a group I'm backing up, which is specified in the CHAT_IDS variable. This group contains numerous forwarded media from private groups and channels.
Is there a way to download these forwarded media, which are private, without having to list the IDs of the private groups and channels in the CHAT_IDS variable?
