Is there a way that when I turn on the Auto-Delete Old Messages option, it only deletes messages, but does not delete the entire chat from the left side. Essentially, to stay with who I chatted with and then just go in to chat again and not look for him in the address book and then it says that I have already chatted with that person\u2026. this way would just delete the messages and would stay on the left side with whom I chatted with. Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-18994820","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18994820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18994820\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18994820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
