I have an unpopular opinion in this it seems.

Like to me it's an obvious feature, the ability to delete after sending is standard on every other IM style tech out there. It makes sense RCS will have it as well.

Just from a comvienence point of view it would be amazing to have. Talked to them in person? OK I'll delete this since o longer needed. Sent the wrong item? I'll just delete it. Autocorrect fucked up and sent something atrocious to your significant other? Believe it or not, delete and try again.

Sure it could have issues with preserving court evidence but, they could also just screenshot or have something that logs messages.

Also looking at the implementation it looks like it's still going to show evidence that something was deleted much like how Facebook has it, where it says a message was deleted so it can still be used as this is where the evidence was, but they deleted it.

And judging by the fallback message shown, it's also entirely possible that it will be a setting much like how the RCS setting is, where you can toggle if it deletes or not.
