So, here is a nightmare landscape: you open your work Loose On your phone so that you can DM with some colleagues. You talk regularly with this group, but you do not see chat in the list of DM active on your phone, so you choose all the participants personally to withdraw the conversation. Without thinking too much about it, you accept a strange signal that asks, “Do you want to include the whole chat history?”
Because yes, you think, surely it should include the chat history of the group DM that you are chatting for age. Who has time for this? Business to behave! The facts required to express! But there is no answer here, you do not want to do this. Because if you do, you must have ported Your full DM history with the first person you choose for chat in group DM,

My next question, of course, how dull users can ensure that it never happens – and what to do if it does. “You can go about this in some ways,” Bitong says. “First, pull down manually to refresh the app. If he does not work, close it completely and reopen the app. “As a result your DM list should be up -to -date, which reduces the problem.
Also, as mentioned, if you see “Do you want to include the whole chat history?” Remember to click “No” you already exist for a group DM. (And even for a new group DM, think very carefully what you can be in that history before sharing.)
