There is no way to clear chat history. (#505)

Unknown opened 4 years ago

Describe the bug "Clear chat on close" doesn't seem to work. After deleting the conversations by dragging the names to the left and selecting delete, all the chat history still shows if you click the person's name on the contact list to start a new chat.

To Reproduce_1 Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go to 'Setting'
Open 'Chat'
Click on 'Clear chat on close'
See error: the chat history still shows when a new chat starts.

To Reproduce_2

Go to 'Chats'
Drag to the left 'any chat name to delete'
Click on 'Delete'
See error: all the chat history still shows if you click the person's name on the contact list to start a new chat.

Expected behavior Chat history cleared, starting a new chat.

Details (please complete the following information):

Siskin Version: 6.4
iOS version: 14.7.1
iPhone model : iPhone Xs

Non-encrypted chat? Then that old history is from MAM, right?

It's an encrypted chat. all the chat history is still there.

This feature was not working for some time already and as MAM keeps message history anyway on the server-side, to simplify things this feature was removed in a future version which should be released soon.

Thanks for the reply. Do you know when the new version will be released?

Labels for actions (Close, Leave instead of Delete) were adjusted in 7.0-b4 available now in TestFlight.

Hello im interested in this tag solution, could u provide a brief explanation on how that will work, will giving a tag mark messages for auto delete on the server?

also maybe not related to this, but some servers have a config to delete messages older than a week, or so, now if a message is older, then deleted on the server, is there a possibility to having it deleted also on the client? Or marked for deletion on the client?

thx for all the hard work, really like this project
