Delete Message for Everyone

Nexconn Chat UI exposes deleting a message for everyone through ChatProvider.deleteMessageForAll. The default long-press menu shows this action only for sent messages that can be deleted for everyone by the current user and current SDK state.

Delete from the Default Menu​

With the standard ChatPage, users can long-press a sent message and choose the delete-for-everyone action. On success, the message list is updated with the deleted-for-everyone placeholder returned by the SDK, or the original message is removed when the SDK does not return one.

Delete for Everyone in Custom UI​

Dart
final error = await chatProvider.deleteMessageForAll(message);
if (error != null && !error.isSuccess) {
  // Show your own error state.
}

Use deleteMessageForMe when your custom action should delete the message only for the current user.

Customize the Menu​

Use ChatMessageLongPressMenuConfig to hide the built-in action or provide custom delete-for-everyone handling.

Dart
ChatPageConfig(
  longPressMenuConfig: ChatMessageLongPressMenuConfig(
    showDeleteForAllButton: true,
    onDeleteForAll: (context, channel, message) async {
      await context.read<ChatProvider>().deleteMessageForAll(message);
    },
  ),
)

Delete-for-everyone permissions, time limits, and final remote behavior are enforced by the underlying Nexconn SDK and service configuration.
