Trash Bin or Better Protection Against Accidental Deletion

As a user who has accidentally deleted entire conversations and then immediately regretted it 😭, I’d love to see one (or all!) of the following features added to help prevent unintentional losses:

🗑️

1. Add a Trash/Recycle Bin

  • Conversations would go to a temporary “Trash” instead of being permanently deleted right away.

  • Trash could auto-empty after a set number of days (e.g., 7 or 30), or allow manual clearing.

  • This would offer a safety net for accidental deletions, similar to how most email and note apps work.

👆

2. Improve Swipe-to-Delete Behavior

  • Right now, a slight swipe deletes a conversation with no warning — just a quick ¼ slide and it’s gone. ☠️

  • Please consider requiring a full swipe across the screen to confirm deletion, or a two-step action.

3. Always Require Confirmation

  • Some deletions prompt a confirmation… but not all? It seems inconsistent.

  • Please make confirmation always required for deletion. The extra tap is worth the peace of mind.

This is a small change that would save a lot of heartache for clumsy thumbs like mine.

Thanks for considering!
