Trash Bin or Better Protection Against Accidental Deletion
As a user who has accidentally deleted entire conversations and then immediately regretted it š, Iād love to see one (or all!) of the following features added to help prevent unintentional losses:
šļø
1. Add a Trash/Recycle Bin
Conversations would go to a temporary āTrashā 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.
š
2. Improve Swipe-to-Delete Behavior
Right now, a slight swipe deletes a conversation with no warning ā just a quick ¼ slide and itās gone. ā ļø
Please consider requiring a full swipe across the screen to confirm deletion, or a two-step action.
ā
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!

The thing I donāt understand is that @Salman Mian posted this request 6 months ago, and it was marked as completed ā Iām not getting any confirmation prompt on Android, is there a way to check if Iāve somehow marked it to no longer show me the confirmation? I canāt imagine myself doing that.
Hereās the old requirements:
Accidental Deletion of Conversations Due to Swipe Gesture
Personally I think the temporary trash bin feels like a good solution, that way youāve got time to notice your mistake and fix it. But I also thought we had an Undo prompt before and Iām not seeing that either. Trash bin is my preference.
