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 ?
isn’t this covered by the chat buffer length selection in settings?
apologies if it’s not the same thing you’re talking about. I’m not trying to antagonize or gaslight anyone.
Yes it is, though I wish it could be changed per-chat.
true, I would like that per-chat option too.
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.
