Edit or Delete Reminders on Telegram

Change or cancel reminders in Telegram without hunting through menus. Tell @DoublegramScribeBot: Move my client call reminder to 3pm, or delete the reminder about the report — the bot finds your active reminders and applies the change.

Reminders in Telegram are not set in stone. Ask @DoublegramScribeBot to update the time or text, or delete reminders you no longer need — using the same natural language as when you created them.

View your active reminders

Ask Scribe what is scheduled:

  • What are my active reminders?
  • Show my upcoming reminders
  • @DoublegramScribeBot list my reminders (in a group)

Scribe lists pending reminders with text and time. Only your reminders in this chat are shown — not other members' reminders.

Edit a reminder

Describe what to change. Scribe matches your request to an active reminder using context (message text, time, recent conversation):

  • Change the client call reminder to 3pm instead of 2pm
  • Update tomorrow's reminder — the subject is budget review, not status update
  • Move my Friday reminder to Monday at the same time
  • Also tag @sarah on the invoice reminder

When Scribe is confident about which reminder you mean, it updates immediately and shows the new details.

If the request is ambiguous, Scribe may show a confirmation summary with old vs new text and time before applying the change — read it carefully and clarify if needed.

Delete a reminder

Cancel in plain language:

  • Delete the reminder about the report
  • Cancel my reminder for tomorrow morning
  • @DoublegramScribeBot remove all reminders about the client call
  • Delete reminder 2 (if you just listed them)

Confirmation button

For deletions where Scribe is not fully certain, it shows the reminder details and a ✅ Confirm deletion button. Tap the button to confirm — the reminder is removed and the message updates to show success.

When Scribe is highly confident, it deletes immediately without a button.

Deleting multiple reminders may show one combined confirmation listing each item.

Rules for edits

  • New time must be in the future — cannot reschedule to a past moment
  • Only your reminders — you manage reminders you created in this chat
  • Executed reminders — After 🔔 fires, the reminder is done and cannot be edited; create a new one if needed
  • Timezone — Updated times use your saved timezone

Where to ask

  • Private chat — Message @DoublegramScribeBot directly (subscription)
  • Telegram group — Mention @DoublegramScribeBot (group premium)
  • Forum topics — Ask inside the topic where you created the reminder for best matching

If Scribe cannot find the reminder

  • List active reminders first, then refer to one by its text or position in the list
  • Reminder may have already fired or been deleted
  • You may be asking about someone else's reminder — only yours are manageable

Quick reference

  • List: show my reminders
  • Edit: describe the change in natural language
  • Delete: ask to cancel + confirm button if needed
  • Scope: your reminders in this chat only
