Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for deleting messages. The systems and methods include operations for: establishing, by a computing device, a communication session between a plurality of users, the communication session being associated with a first feature of a plurality of features of a messaging application; automatically deleting a first set of messages exchanged in the communication session based on a default deletion policy of the first feature; changing the default deletion policy of the first feature to a second deletion policy; and automatically deleting a second set of messages exchanged in the communication session based on the second deletion policy instead of the default deletion policy.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more processors, via a graphical user interface presented on a display device to a user, input indicative of changing a first default deletion policy to a different deletion policy;
- changing, by the one or more processors, the first default deletion policy to the different deletion policy in response to receiving the input via the graphical user interface;
- deleting one or more content items according to the different deletion policy;
- and
- in response to determining that a threshold amount of time has elapsed since the first default deletion policy has been changed, automatically deleting an individual set of content items based on the first default deletion policy instead of the different deletion policy.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor configured to perform operations comprising:
- receiving via a graphical user interface presented on a display device to a user, input indicative of changing a first default deletion policy to a different deletion policy;
- changing the first default deletion policy to the different deletion policy in response to receiving the input via the graphical user interface;
- deleting one or more content items according to the different deletion policy;
- and
- in response to determining that a threshold amount of time has elapsed since the first default deletion policy has been changed, automatically deleting an individual set of content items based on the first default deletion policy instead of the different deletion policy.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that includes instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- receiving via a graphical user interface presented on a display device to a user, input indicative of changing a first default deletion policy to a different deletion policy;
- changing the first default deletion policy to the different deletion policy in response to receiving the input via the graphical user interface;
- deleting one or more content items according to the different deletion policy;
- and
- in response to determining that a threshold amount of time has elapsed since the first default deletion policy has been changed, automatically deleting an individual set of content items based on the first default deletion policy instead of the different deletion policy.
