Args: chat_id (``int`` | ``str``): Unique identifier (int) or username (str) of the target chat. For your personal cloud (Saved Messages) you can simply use "me" or "self". For a contact that exists in your Telegram address book you can use his phone number (str). message_ids (``iterable``): A list of Message identifiers to delete or a single message id. Iterators and Generators are also accepted. revoke (``bool``, *optional*): Deletes messages on both parts. This is only for private cloud chats and normal groups, messages on channels and supergroups are always revoked (i.e.: deleted for everyone). Defaults to True. Returns: True on success.
