Your Rocket.Chat.Android version: 2.0.0 - 2.0.2 Mobile device model: Xiaomi Redmi 3 OS version: MIUI 9 (8.4.12) , Developer ROM Your Rocket.Chat Server version: 0.63.0 - 0.63.3

The message published on the channel remains visible after it's deleted and re-entered on the channel. It is visible only to the user who deleted it, all other users do not see it.

This is happening for me too.

@cloudsandladders @Pitstopper Can you confirm this is still happening on the latest build?

Pitstopper commented 6 years ago

@leonardoaramaki yes, I confirm.

Same problem here. Several things go wrong:

when I clean the history of the room it is gone on the desktop version but still visible in the android app. Logging off, restarting the app or the phone doesn't help.
When I delete a message in the android app it is obviously not gone in the desktop version because one of my users replied to a deleted message later that day and that also made the deleted message reappear?!

@chatnl How are you clearing the history of a room? Are you using some specific method? You can try clearing all the cache data (Settings -> Apps -> Rocket.Chat -> Clear Data) to see if that clears the messages.

When I delete a message in the android app it is obviously not gone in the desktop version because one of my users replied to a deleted message later that day and that also made the deleted message reappear?!

That sounds like a bug. Can you explain the steps so we can try to reproduce it?

chatnl commented 6 years ago

I will try to reproduce this this weekend. The only thing I can imagine is that the user that replied to my deleted message had the desktop or android app open when I deleted the message and that his cache was still containing the message.

When I use Clear Data on my phone everything is gone, but I can't expect everybody that uses the chatbox to do that everyday. When I delete the data it should not be available anymore. I can imagine that it is cached locally but the client should see that the server has deleted all the messages and do so locally too.

I have been cleaning the room with the curl commands through the API.

This issue is blocked because there's no way to get deleted messages via API.
