Systems, devices, and methods for determining a non-ephemeral message status in a communication system

A device comprising:

• a memory;
• a display, the display configured to display messages as part of a communication system;
• an input device configured to receive a first message from a network as part of the communication system, wherein a first message status for the first message is an ephemeral status, and wherein the first message is associated with a default trigger for deletion of the first message based on the ephemeral status;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the memory, the display, and the input device, the one or more processors implementing a non-ephemeral analysis module configured to:
• analyze the first message for elements associated with a non-ephemeral status;
• identify one or more content elements from content of the first message, wherein the one or more content elements are associated with the non-ephemeral status;
• and
• change the first message status from the ephemeral status to the non-ephemeral status based on the identifying of the one or more content elements associated with the non-ephemeral status.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, configure the device to:

• access a first message of a first message type in a communication system, wherein a first message status for the first message is an ephemeral status, and wherein the first message is associated with a default trigger for deletion of the first message based on the ephemeral status;
• analyze the first message for elements associated with a non-ephemeral status using a non-ephemeral analysis module;
• identify one or more content elements from content of the first message, wherein the one or more content elements are associated with the non-ephemeral status;
• change the first message status from the ephemeral status to the non-ephemeral status based on the identifying of the one or more content elements associated with the non-ephemeral status;
• and
• modify, in response to the changing of the first message status to the non-ephemeral status, the association of the first message with the default trigger for deletion of the first message to an association with a non-ephemeral trigger for deletion of the first message.
