Signal is internally testing a new feature on Android that gives users more control over deleted messages. The experimental option introduces a temporary placeholder after a message is removed from your own device using “Delete for me”, allowing you to still choose to “Delete for everyone”.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This work in progress is visible in Signal’s source code for Android (GitHub commit a92079e<\/a>). The feature is designed to prevent accidental mistakes when choosing between deleting a message only for yourself or removing it for all participants in a chat or group. If the time limit for deleting a message for everyone has expired, no further action is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The feature is currently in development and being tested internally as part of Signal Labs, where Signal experiments with new functionality before potentially rolling it out to all users. Labs features are experimental and may still change significantly over time or even be removed entirely. Once features make it to the official release, Signal aims to make them available across all platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weitere Funktionen in Entwicklung unter \u201eLabs\u201c<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the improvements for deleting messages, Signal continues to experiment with new features under its Labs environment. Some of the features we discussed in in unserem Beitrag \u00fcber Signal Labs,<\/a> wurden inzwischen ver\u00f6ffentlicht. Andere, etwa markierte Nachrichten und Story-Archive befinden sich hingegen weiterhin in diesem experimentellen Bereich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
