"Delete all from yourself" alternative workflow

Open msalini opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

The Problem

The current menu option "Delete all from yourself" is a very destructive one. Especially because it is not possible to visually check what is being delete before hitting the delete button.

The Solution

  • Replace "Delete all from yourself" with "Show all my messages"
  • Option to select messages individually
  • Option to select all mesaages
  • Delete button (for selected or all messages)

The feature itself is in dire need of rework. Telegram server may set rate limits on various actions, consequentially deleting your messages when there are thousands of them - may lag. The client optimistically assumes all is done, the search for messages can show nothing on it, even if it will on the other clients, misleading the user into thinking it succeeded.

Would my solution be in the right direction?

(Assuming the telegram API were to work as intended and return warnings for undeleted msgs or similar solutions that ensure the client knows whats being actually deleted)
