#signal #privacy #expiration
I can’t believe that. There is no fonctionnality to delete messages (text, images, videos) older than, for example, 6 months, one year, two years, and so on.
Ephemeral message is not a solution: max is 4 weeks, and only for new messages, not oldest.
That’s completely crazy isn’t it?
When When When ?


What would be the value in deleting such an old message? It could easily be stored in a back up of the recipients device and will never be actually deleted.
Even with Signal there is no privacy when communicating with someone you don’t trust.
Also you need to trust their setup. If the recipient is allowing signal to show message content in notifications then every message you’ve sent has already been compromised.
