Why do you feel the need to delete your chats? Is it to save space? Would you still do it if you had unlimited storage?

I set my chats to be automatically deleted in 24 hours. This way when we have a small argument with someone, there's less chance of someone being triggered/angered by re-reading the chat. Although there have been rare cases where I had big arguments and would've liked to have the receipts.

  • The only reason I default to 6 months is because 6 months appears to be the cut off after which the history is useless. It's occasionally saved my an arguement about what was agreed / said / planned. Otherwise I'd burn them after an hour.

I wouldn't keep them in any context. I literally cannot see the point. Like I said I genuinely can't understand why you'd want to.
