Disappearing messages #1117

Closed frankm773 closed 2 years ago

Please implement the disappearing messages feature as it is available in other messengers.

Most messages do not need to be stored for an extensive amount of time and the sooner a chat message disappears, the smaller is the time frame where it can be compromised.

While this feature may not work against "unfriendly" contacts that may take screenshots before a message disappears, it will help reduce the risk for activists and their contacts that are in danger of having their devices confiscated.

Please note that there have been an increasing number of cases where activists have been jailed because their contacts had their phones confiscated and authorities were able to access the chat messages on their devices.

This feature can prevent a lot of people from harm so please consider implementing this.
