Can 1-1 call history be cleaned up in Talk?

ℹ️ Support 💬 Talk (spreed)

Hey all,

When I make a 1-1 call in Talk, it always drops messages into the chat like:

  • “X joined the call”
  • “Call ended (duration)”

These stay in the conversation history, and I can’t select or delete them in either the mobile app or the desktop/web client.

Is there any way to clean up these call entries from a 1-1 chat? Or maybe wipe the conversation history completely?

Just wondering if I’m missing something, or if this isn’t possible yet.

Thanks!

Thank you!

  1. It seems I don’t have such buttons in this section. Am I missing something?
  2. Just to double-check: there’s no way to remove a call-related entry in particular, like you can with a regular message?

Please take a look at the attached screenshot above. In the “Danger zone” section (this is the very bottom of the “Conversation settings” window), I only see the options “Archive conversation” and “Leave conversation” :melting_face:

Did you create the convetsation from your instance? Are you “moderator”?

Yeah, I just picked a contact from the “All contacts” list and started a new conversation. I’m not sure what a moderator is, but I tried it with regular accounts I created for my friends on my server, as well as with the admin account - and this section looks the same no matter which account I use or which client (web/desktop/iOS).

You started a topic in support category. Unfortunately you ignored the template and a lot of information to help you is missing. Please edit your original post and add all required details like Nextcloud version, webserver type and version, os version, related log file content. Use the support template.

Without additional information the community members cannot help you.

1-1 conversation cannot be deleted/cleared by default. If you wish to do that, you need to use a recent version (I think it was added in 31) and set the following config

occ config:app:set --value=true --type=boolean spreed delete_one_to_one_conversations

Thanks, the button is here now. Are there any caveats or concerns about deleting 1-1 conversations? Why is this feature disabled by default?

The base idea is that one participant of a 1:1 conversation should not be able to delete the whole conversation as there is noch such thing as moderation. But in case it’s wanted, there’s an option for that.
