Seeing as how text messages are often used as evidence of abuse, cheating, or other awful acts I struggle to see this as a good thing.
I was thinking how often it's used for business purposes. (There's already case law about emojis)
Agreed, and you know they have a record of these deleted texts internally for their own reasons.
Its supposed to be e2e encrypted messages but I'm skeptical about that too
That's certainly an issue, but for me it was already quite useful for deleting unread obsolete messages (e.g. deleting "can you bring milk" after you realized that there still is some), or messages accidentally sent to the wrong person. I think limiting to a short time frame and/or only unread messages would solve most of the possible abuse.
Why not just reply "Oh we have milk!". Why is deleting messages the best course of action when you can just communicate that you were misinformed?
Sure you can do that, but it's more work for both parties assuming the message hasn't been read. I'm just saying that both Signal and WhatsApp have had this feature for quite some time now and it has come in handy for me a few times already.
