Same conversation from the computer
This bug is one year old and problem is still present. It would be nice to make things that work instead of multiplying buggy applications. @biscotty666, sorry for no reply @MikMak it would be nice if there were enough engineer-hours to make the application perfect. If you or someone you know wants to get involved, I would be happy to help them onboard. The KDE Connect SMS plugin reads directly from the phone's database of messages and doesn't do any persistent caching/etc. if you see messages on you computer, then your phone does not think they are deleted. For instance, maybe you have "archived" the message or conversation, or maybe your messages app is not propagating the delete for whatever reason. The one case where you would see deleted messages that your phone has deleted, would be if you delete them and then immediately look at the computer. Message deletion is not propagated. The deleted messages will be gone the next time your devices lose connection, which will cause the desktop to fetch all messages from the remote device. If anyone has a repro where you can delete a message on the phone and still see it on the desktop after rebooting the desktop, please share that. Please double-check with another messaging app on the phone that the message really doesn't appear, and it's not just hidden by your normal messaging app. @simon sorry for the mood of my comment it was not appropriate and I was indeed surprised that the incident had not received a response. I do understand it's not easy, it's an open source project and we have to accept that not everything is perfect. I apologize for that. In fact I looked how I could contribute to your project, and I will be happy to do this. But I am not sure I could help. I am on nixos, don't use KDE, etc... But I would really like to help for this project. Anyway, I deleted the archived messages on my phone and after a while, not immediately, kdeconnect no longer displayed the messages.

To take this example, a distro-agnostic project could be to add support for hiding archived messages in the KDE Connect Android app. https://matrix.to/#/!KPnlFCXuKzRXyhSxnY:kde.org?via=matrix.org&via=kde.org&via=mozilla.org > Anyway, I deleted the archived messages on my phone and after a while, not > immediately, kdeconnect no longer displayed the messages.
