Nope, "your messages" once they have been received by someone now belongs to that person too. If you say something crazy to me, you shouldn't get to deny it by deleting your messages. If I levy an accusation, I should be able to prove it by showing my message history...
- saint_fiasco 8y agoHow would you prove your message history was not adulterated? The easiest way would be to check the logs of the service itself, but what if those were deleted and only your local copy remains?
- gruez 8y agoThe judge would decide. If the app was on a secure platform (android/ios, non root/jailbroken), you could argue that the logs are genuine because the platform prevents you from manipulating the logs. The onus would be on the other party to prove that the logs were fabricated. I wouldn't count on it to secure a criminal conviction, but it would suffice in civil cases.
- nebulaserfer 8y agoScreen it if you want. Why are you chatting with person who can say something crazy to you in the first place? I don't treat this feature as something bad, maybe it was a typo in message or just miss-click, so, allow to modify it. Maybe I sent some intimate information and don't want to keep it in history but trust person wouldn't screen it.
