Signal-ios: disappearing messages should also apply to calls history
Bug description
Currently when disappearing messages are turned on for conversation messages do disappear but calls history doesn't not. That doesn't look good and isn't consistent IMO.
Actual result: Calls history stays for ever.
Expected result: Calls history should disappear according to disappearing messages setting.

Yes, it is a duplicate of #2060.
But what happened in #2060? Someone mentioned this behavior of the disappearing messages within Signal, which obviously makes no sense for anyone. The screenshot of arekm shows this and anyone using Signal also for phone calls, is annoyed by this. For years now!
A team of talanted programmers, who work on a project they are really involved in and would like to push it, would not even waste the time of arguing or writing an answer. They would see at once, that this behaviour makes no sense at all, and try to fix it as soon as possible.
And what happened? michaelkirk simply wrote "this is working as intended", relegated to the signaluser community (where you can make suggestions for years and nothing will happen) and closed the ticket.
This is the behavior of a bureaucrat, and such people will never really push a project successfully.
I believe, the Signal project should try to find a more dedicated programmer, who is really focussed on improving the app. The ios version of Signal is not really improving for 2 years now and is too far behind the android version.
