Bug description

Hello, why is it not possible to delete notes for everyone in the Android version under "My notes"? With the Windows version, the notes can be deleted for everyone. When chatting with other people, I can delete the messages from Android and Windows. Problem therefore only affects own notes. I like to use these as quick storage. Thanks

Isn't everyone only you when making a Note to Self? There is only you, did I miss something?

Maybe you're concerned about the messages in the UI, not about missing functionality, right?

Exactly. It's about the "Note to self" function.
I have now switched Signal to English for testing purposes.
I find it confusing that within the "Note to self" notes (Android) I can only delete a message with "delete for me". In the Windows app, under "Note to self", I can delete the notes with "Delete for everyone".

When I delete a note, it should be deletable from everywhere, not only with the windows version.
If I write to other users, I can also delete the texts directly from android.

They just still haven't implemented it. Not a bug.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
