A wipe all button is what I'm looking for. Signal is solid enough and one could potentially register without a real number sure. But ephemeral messaging isn't always the easiest to use. Sometimes keeping a chat log of say 24 hours or less before the messages disappear is nice. But if a device got lost or stolen during that time and one or both parties needed an immediate wipe on all devices its seeming not possible right now. There is no way to delete the history in a wipe all button manner regardless of platform. I'm simply looking for that feature. Matrix is nice but leaks metadata still, after reading about why it just comes down to how it operates in a defederated manner. Sure one could self host their own server and have ownership or their own data but could say the data be reset daily by restarting the server? Then would the members simply reestablish the chat again? I'm not familiar with matrix at all but I have read quite a bit today on it.
Man just settle down that what you are asking for is not available on the market off the shelf.
It’s probably not an open discussion to talk about your actual scenarios.
