1. Is this request related to a challenge you're experiencing? Tell me about your story.

I am using Dify's embedding-in-websites feature, but I have noticed that it defaults to saving message history in localStorage. This causes the iframe URL I constructed (e.g., https://dify.xxx.com/chatbot/xxxxx?query=xxx) to not refresh when I input a different query value. I would like to know how to reset the conversation every time I exit the iframe.

Yes, this request is directly related to the challenge I am currently facing. Since the message history is saved in localStorage, I am unable to effectively switch between different queries, which affects the user experience.

2. Additional context or comments

I would like to be able to clear the message history each time I exit the iframe so that I can start a new conversation without being influenced by previous interactions.

3. Can you help us with this feature?
