Why does your desire for complete privacy and _control_ outweigh mine to keep a complete history of my communications?
Why can you reach into my phone and wipe data you sent to me?
Why are _you_ the final arbiter?
Once you send a message it is _out of your hands_. You do not own that message. You do not have the right to dictate to others what they can do with what you send to them. That’s life, that’s reality.
If you want to be able to delete your sent messages from other’s devices, there are many apps out there that can provide it to you and both you and the person you are talking to can go in “eyes wide open” to what you agreeing to (I can delete messages I sent to you and you have no record).
The potential for abuse of this is high and the vast majority of users would _not_ want this feature. The same way that mostly people probably shouldn’t use ADP due to the risks, this type of feature will cause way more issues IMHO. It doesn’t take much imagination to get to “Grandpa pressed the wrong button and deleted years (decades) of conversation from everyone’s phone”.
I am not interesting my normal conversations potentially disappearing. That was not the agreement that we had and changing the rules later on that is gross to me. If you want disappearing chats or the ability to wipe all the messages you’ve sent there are other apps (with their own pitfalls, what if I keep my phone offline and never get the update to clear out your conversations?).
