Can I make my Telegram bot for private chat only (not groups)?

Question

Is it possible to prevent my bot from being invited into groups and for it to only be available for private chat? I intend to create a bot that will give user-specific information and this would be confusing within a group.

Sure, you can use /setjoingroups command in @BotFather.

BTW, there has leaveChat, you can leave yourself if your bot joined group before set this.

When receiving a message, check if the chatid and userid is the same, if so, ignore.
