Are Telegram Bots able to view edited messages?

Question

With the new edit features in telegram, are bots able to view edited messages?

By reading the API, I found that bots can only edit messages but not view edited messages.

Answer 1

Good news, API now supports to view edited messages via Update.edited_message!
