Signal-android: Feature Request: Disappearing Message Time of 15 Minutes

Created on 5 Jan 2017  路  5Comments  路  Source: signalapp/Signal-Android

The disappearing message function is something that I make heavy use of, but there seems to be a gap in the options.
When thinking about how long some conversations go, 5 minutes seems too quick, but 30 minutes is too long.
I'd love for there to be a 15 minute option.

Given some of the feature requests I saw while looking to see if someone else asked for 15 minutes, it might be smart to support a custom time option somewhere.

Why not add a manual selector to choose the desired time ?

I think it would be better to have 10 minutes instead of 15. This would match seconds values - 5s, 10s, 30s.

Why not add a manual selector to choose the desired time ?

I personally would like 1 month much more as an option as 1 week is not that long time for a history of a conservation.

I don't think a manual selector will be integrated as this does not fit OWS mentality. (For example: choosing conservation color wasn't integrated to be choosen completely manually.

I think a selector with weeks / days / hour / minutes would suffice and keep the mind "KISS".

This is not complicated to use, does not add complexity to the program and it covers all needs.

And to truly not confuse the user, we could add the option "manually select" in the list of predefined choices.
