Telegram adds the option to delete chats on other people’s devices
- vezycash 8y agoThe title is misleading because Telegram already allows me to delete my messages on other people's devices. The changes are: * No more deadlines. Instead of 48 hours, you can now delete messages from the other person's device at any time. * You can now delete the other person's messages from their device!

- tpfour 8y agoThey are utterly confused about "privacy". Allowing someone ELSE deleting MY messages on MY device is bordering on insanity. I have a small theory about why they chose to do that. Telegram is the de facto messenger for cryptocurrencies. There are a LOT of scams being perpetrated on Telegram. This new feature facilitates plausible deniability for scammers, with the intent of making lawsuits against Telegram less likely.
