# Updating messages

Source: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#updating-messages

[Documentation index](../llms.txt)

The following methods allow you to change an existing message in the message history instead of sending a new one with a result of an action. This is most useful for messages with [inline keyboards](../external/bots/features.md#inline-keyboards) using callback queries, but can also help reduce clutter in conversations with regular chat bots.

Please note, that it is currently only possible to edit messages without *reply\_markup* or with [inline keyboards](../external/bots/features.md#inline-keyboards).
