How to add a bot to a Telegram Group as admin?

I've added my bot to my Telegram Group, but see that it

has no access to messages

I heard the bot need to be admin to access to messages. True? If so, how? Else, how to have my bot access to group messages?

You have to use the @BotFather bot to set the Group Privacy off. This let the bot to access all the group messages.

By default, Group Privacy is enabled for bots. This setting has to be changed used the @BotFather bot >> Bot Settings >> Group Privacy >> Turn off

Please note that this change is not propagated automatically, so in case the bot is already in a group before turning off privacy mode, it will remain as it was before. To apply the changes, the bot should be removed and added again to the group(s). Alternatively, you can stop the bot and start again from within the group: Group Details -> Member Details -> Options -> Stop Bot and then Group Details -> Member Details -> Options -> Start bot.
