@ -111,8 +111,8 @@ Can I use the same file_id across different accounts?
No, Telegram doesn't allow this.
File ids are personal and bound to a specific user/bot -- and an attempt in using a foreign file id will result in
errors such as ``[400 MEDIA_EMPTY]``.

The only exception are stickers' file ids; you can use them across different accounts without any problem, like this
one: ``CAADBAADyg4AAvLQYAEYD4F7vcZ43AI``.

Can I use Bot API's file_id values in Pyrogram?
-----------------------------------------------
Definitely! All file ids you might have taken from the Bot API are 100% compatible and re-usable in Pyrogram.
**However...**
Telegram is slowly changing some server's internals and it's doing it in such a way that file ids are going to break
inevitably. Not only this, but it seems that the new, hypothetical, file ids could also possibly expire at anytime, thus
losing the *persistence* feature (see `What is a file_ref and why do I need it?`_).
This change will most likely affect the official :doc:`Bot API <topics/mtproto-vs-botapi>` too (unless Telegram
implements some workarounds server-side to keep backwards compatibility, which Pyrogram could in turn make use of) and
we can expect a proper notice from Telegram.
Yes! All file ids you take or might have taken from the Bot API are 100% compatible and re-usable in Pyrogram.
The opposite is also valid, you can take any file id generated by Pyrogram and re-use in the Bot API.
Can I use multiple clients at once on the same account?

@ -259,37 +250,12 @@ The error in question is ``[400 PEER_ID_INVALID]``, and could mean several thing
- The chat id you tried to use is simply wrong, double check it.
- The chat id refers to a group or channel you are not a member of.
- The chat id argument you passed is in form of a string; you have to convert it into an integer with ``int(chat_id)``.
- The chat id refers to a user your current session haven't met yet.
- The chat id refers to a user or chat your current session hasn't met yet.
About the last point: in order for you to meet a user and thus communicate with them, you should ask yourself how to
contact people using official apps. The answer is the same for Pyrogram too and involves normal usages such as searching
for usernames, meeting them in a common group, have their phone contacts saved or getting a message mentioning them,
either a forward or a mention in the message text.
What is a file_ref and why do I need it?
----------------------------------------
.. note::
This FAQ is currently applicable to user accounts only. Bot accounts are still doing fine without a file_ref
(even though this can change anytime since it's a Telegram's internal server behaviour).
Similarly to what happens with users and chats which need to first be encountered in order to interact with them, media
messages also need to be "seen" recently before downloading or re-sending without uploading as new file.
**What is it meant by "they need to be seen recently"?**
That means you have to fetch the original media messages prior any action in order to get a valid and up to date value
called file reference (file_ref) which, in pair with a file_id, enables you to interact with the media. This file_ref
value won't last forever (usually 24h, but could expire anytime) and in case of errors you have to get a refreshed
file_ref by re-fetching the original message (fetching forwarded media messages does also work).
**Ok, but what is a file_ref actually needed for?**
Nobody knows for sure, but is likely because that's the correct approach for handling tons of files uploaded by users in
Telegram's cloud. Which means, as soon as the media message still exists, a valid file_ref can be obtained, otherwise,
in case there's no more messages referencing a specific media, Telegram is able to free disk space by deleting old
files.

(either a forward or a mention in the message text) or obtaining the dialogs list.
