Telegram bot - only works for me but not for other users

Question

So I created this telegram bot. Every hour I get a message with a random quote. It is working perfectly fine for me.

Now I wanted a friend of mine to see the bot in action. So I told him to add the bot as well to his telegram and send to the bot: "\start".

However, he is not receiving any of the bot messages (I still receive them). Does anyone have any idea why?

Also make sure, your friend had not stopped bot. If so, ask him to Restart bot. — Harshad Raval, Aug 24 '21 at 06:39
I was actually using the right start command. My friend has no power over the bot. Just added the bot as a contact. Maybe there’s a step missing … — phdstudent, Aug 24 '21 at 11:06
My friend has no power over the bot. - he can stop/ban your bot. If that is the case, he will not receive any message from your bot. — Harshad Raval, Aug 24 '21 at 11:08
Okay. I just created a new telegram account to try it out. So on my original account I receive the messages normally. On my secondary account I don’t. — phdstudent, Aug 24 '21 at 11:09

Try checking your code and the data it's reaching out. It can be something very similar to this one.
