Auto-delete and Save in chat

A channel keeps its messages unless someone who runs the room sets it to delete them. With a window set, each message is deleted that long after it was sent, unless someone saved it. In a direct message, either person can set it.

How it works

• The choices are 1 hour, 6 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 30 days and Never.
• Messages past their window are deleted every hour, so one can stay up to an hour longer.
• A message somebody saved stays for everyone, even if the person who saved it leaves the room.
• A message that has been reported stays until the report is dealt with.

How to save a message

1. 1.

   Point at the message.

2. 2.

   Choose Save in chat. Choose it again to unsave.

What you can change

People with Manage Channels set it in Room Settings → Channels, under Delete messages after. In a direct message, use Message Auto-Delete in the conversation's settings.

Rules and limits

• A deleted message cannot be brought back.
• A message a moderator removed is kept in the moderation record for 3 years, as the Privacy Policy says.

If something goes wrong

"That was not saved. Try again."

The message is not saved. Choose Save in chat again.
