Telegram Bot. Get User timezone

When developing bot for Telegram is there any way to get user timezone? Date field in Message object contains UNIX timestamp only. I want to create bot sending some messages an fixed time of day to subscribed user. User can have different time zones and I don't want to force users to explicit send their timezone to bot in message.

You can also create link button which opens temprorary browser window.

Where you request timezone from browser encodeURIComponent(Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone) browser's timezone and redirect back with timezone in query string and store it.

And than this window can be automatically closed by redirecting to your bot https://t.me/{your_bot_name}

I've added /set_utc_offset command to my bot where users enter the time difference in minutes compared to UTC

It's imposible by standard Bot API.

You can ask user for location, and next, from this location calculate timezone for user.
