Show an additional (/) button in the input field?

Question

Could you please tell me how I could have an additional (/) button in the input field ? As shown here in this image:

I have written a bot using this library: https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot.

And found out that:

"Show an additional (/) button in the input field in all chats with bots. Tapping it types a '/' and shows the list of commands."

in this page: https://core.telegram.org/bots#commands.

Unfortunately my bot does not have that, using the Telegram app on my iphone.

I also have tried to provide the list of commands using Botfather, but still no yield.

Answer 1

If you have set the commands with Botfather, it should work. Alternatively, you can set the commands programmatically with the setMyCommands method - in python-telegram-bot, that's Bot.set_my_commands.
