Can we open telegram's setting menu with any code or redirecting? I made a bot on telegram which needs username for a specific actions. If a user don't have any username then the bot replies something like 'Username not found please go to settings and set a username to continue'. Instead of this I want to redirect the user to settings menu where username can be added. Any suggestions how I can do that? Like I have seen many bots who redirect users to groups list so that they can add them to any group. Can we do same for settings menu?
At the moment, Telegram does not allow users to open the profile settings with an url, but you can click on this url on a Telegran app to open the settings menu: tg://settings (does not seems to work on my Android with Telegram Beta but on TGDesktop it works just fine). The "open groups list" is a deep linking url: https://t.me/usernameBot?startgroup=test. If specified, the startgroup parameter asks the user to select a group from the list.
