Expected Behavior

I hope the developers will fix this issue soon.

Hi @Bigbrother84844, thanks for the report. Is it happening in community chats, groups chats, or 1-1 chats? Did you send the message in the screenshot from desktop and the iOS is a linked device?

I can reproduce this bug with Session iOS 2.2.4 and 2.2.5.

I believe it is Community only. Deletion works fine with closed group / 1-1 DM chat.

I suspect it has the same root cause as https://github.com/oxen-io/session-ios/issues/768 where there's some mismatching (or missing value) of one's own blinded ID / one's own unblinded ID which triggers an incorrect conditional branch that does not render the deletion button.

I can also reproduce this on the latest ios version with the latest session version.

Delete appears in 1 to 1 and group chats just not community chats.

Hi guys, this issue should be fixed in our latest release 2.2.6. Thanks for helping us debug this issue. I'll close this issue now.

Thanks for the fix!

I retested this one with 2.2.6, new message sent to Community can be deleted, old message that existed before the new release can not be deleted, I guess there's nothing we can do with the old message? If that's the case I'm fine, just report my findings.

Actually what's interesting:

• In Community
  • After applying the fix (upgrade to 2.2.6)
  • If the original message was sent from iOS, then I can delete it from iOS
  • If the original message was sent from Desktop, then I can't delete it from iOS

It seems like we have a lot of combinations to test, like the ones in https://github.com/oxen-io/session-desktop/issues/2655#issuecomment-1401403829

@RyanRory should we reopen this issue?

[mpretty-cyro]

Hmm - yep will reopen

🤦 forgot about ID Blinding - I'll open a PR for this now
