    Maybe also add a feature to "delete from/to... (specified message/date/etc)"

    i can see this being easily abusable e.g. x accuses y of something, x has proof, y erases chat history to remove it. it would also need at least two verification menus i'd think, since erasing a whole chat history is a big deal, and people will do dumb things by accident. unfortunately i can predict discord not foreseeing that.

    just not sending sensitive information or at least sending it and remembering where it is so you can delete it if you have to would be better

    That is a good point. Have it be a "hard-to-access" feature that require the same prompts required when deleting a server as a server owner (for both parties), perhaps? Something like...

    Clear Text History

    1. User A requests chat history deletion prompt (and goes through 2FA if enabled).
    2. User B recieves chat history deletion prompt (and goes through 2FA if enabled).
    3. Chat is cleared after both prompts have been accepted. If one (or both) declined the prompt, it will not go through.
