Deletion
Q : When I deleted a contact from my platform, what happens to the chat content previously sent by this contact?
A : It depends on the deletion type.
Soft deletion
If the contact is deleted keeping the possibility of undoing the deletion within 6 months, the contact will be deactivated. What we call a “soft deletion”.
For those:
The contact is marked as “deleted user”, so no longer searchable in the contact list (no longer reachable)
For contacts that have a conversation history with the deleted user, they will still be able to see the history of their conversation.
The name of the deleted contact will be anonymized to “Deleted user”
Group conversations will keep the conversation history with the deleted user and other members will be able to see him/her as “deleted user”.
Deletion of contact can still be undone within the first 6 months, if undone: all conversation history and conversations are restored for that user.
Hard deletion
If the contact is deleted without the possibility of undoing, the deletion is what we call a “hard deletion”, no turning back.
For those:
The contact is no longer searchable in the contact list (no longer reachable)
For contacts that have a conversation history with the deleted user, they will not be able to see the deleted user in the conversations list, and the history will be gone. They will not be able to see the conversation history of that deleted contact.
The deleted contact will be removed from all group chats
Deletion of contact cannot be undone.
