What to do when the bot goes silent

Total silence — no reply even to /start — almost always means a service or connection issue, not a problem with your link.

  • Heavy load or maintenance. The queue grows during peak hours. Wait 5–10 minutes, then send a short test link.
  • A problem with Telegram itself. See whether other chats open and images load. If the whole app is sluggish, it's your network or Telegram.
  • An outdated app version. Buttons break on older builds. Update Telegram and restart it.
  • You stopped the bot earlier. If you ever tapped Stop or Block, open the bot's profile and tap Restart.

If there's still no response after 10–15 minutes and Telegram is otherwise fine, check the bot's official channel — outages and expected fix times are posted there.

Troubleshooting checklist

  • Make sure the link is complete and points to a public page with the content. Shortened links may not work.
  • Confirm the video is public and hasn't been deleted. Private videos can't be downloaded.
  • Check your internet connection — a slow network can look like the bot has frozen.
  • Restart Telegram and send the link again.
  • Make sure Telegram is updated to the latest version.
  • Try another platform: if one source keeps failing, test a YouTube link — that tells you whether it's the bot or the source.
  • Check that you haven't used up your daily download limit.
  • Check the official Saver Bot channel for maintenance notices.

Tips

  • For the best quality, pick videos the creator uploaded in high resolution to begin with.
  • Keep frequently used links in Telegram's Saved Messages so you don't have to look for the bot every time.
  • If you plan to use a video commercially, get written permission from the creator.
  • For audio, choose MP3 — the file stays small and plays on any device.
  • For long videos, download as a file so Telegram doesn't compress the quality.
  • For Stories and Reels, check the video orientation — vertical saves better.

FAQ

Why is the bot taking so long to respond?
It may be under heavy load or in maintenance. Wait 1–2 minutes and try again.
What if the link doesn't work?
Open the link in a browser. If the video is unavailable or private, the bot can't download it.
Why won't the file open?
Make sure your device has MP4/MP3 codecs. Try opening the file in a different player.
Can I download a deleted video?
No — once a video is removed from the platform, it can't be downloaded.
Where do I get help?
Contact Saver Bot support in Telegram or via the Help section on the website.
Why does the video download without sound?
Check your device volume and codecs. Try downloading the file again, or grab the audio as a separate MP3.
What does the "link not recognized" error mean?
The bot couldn't identify the platform. Make sure the link is complete and starts with the platform's domain.
Can private-video restrictions be bypassed?
No — Saver Bot respects privacy settings and won't download restricted content.
