Track "Join with Chat History"

[maltfield]

This is a request to add a new row (called Join w Chat History) to the spreadsheet that tracks whether or not a chat's history appears when joining an existing chat from a new device.

Problem

On some apps, if you join a new chat (or if you open a chat that you've already joined on a new device), you can see all of the history of that chat (eg all the messages sent/received for the past year).

On some apps, if you join a new chat, you can't see any prior messages. Only messages sent/received after you've joined will appear.

This important difference is currently not being tracked by privacyspreadsheet.com

Solution

A new row (called Join w Chat History) will display if an app does or does not display prior history when joining a chat.

If an app displays all of the history of a chat when a user joins the chat for the first time and when they open a chat that they joined a long time ago after they've installed the app on a new device, then a green Yes should appear.

If an app displays no prior history in the chat when a user joins a chat for the first time or when they open a chat that they joined a long time ago after they've installed an app on a new device, then a red No should appear.
