pub async fn create_broadcast(
context: &Context,
chat_name: String,
) -> Result<ChatId>
Expand description
Create a new broadcast channel (called “Channel” in the UI).
Broadcast channels are similar to groups on the sending device, however, recipients get the messages in a read-only chat and will not see who the other members are.
Called broadcast
here rather than channel
,
because the word “channel” already appears a lot in the code,
which would make it hard to grep for it.
After creation, the chat contains no recipients and is in unpromoted state;
see create_group_chat
for more information on the unpromoted state.
Returns the created chat’s id.
