Clear or Remove Chat History Permanently #92

Open 9631MZ opened 3 years ago

9631MZ commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug Currently beagleIM on MacOS can only retract (own sent) message. Is there a way to remove all history include received history permanently?

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'Direct messages'
  2. Click on 'X'
  3. After add contact back
  4. History is still there

Expected behavior When click on 'x' should permanently remove chat history with that contact.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

This is not a bug. You are allowed to retract messages sent only yourself. There is no way to remove all history. Moreover, it is very likely that a copy of your messages is still kept in the MAM archive on your server (servers are not required to support XEP-0424 Message Retraction) or in the channel on which you've exchanged those messages.
