I go to groups for anxiety during my time going to groups I became what i thought was freinds with 2 other people who go to groups and we talked on fb. both admited that they saved all our chats which i didnt feel confortable with as i told them things in confidance private things and if i had known they were saving the chats i wouldnt have told them this personal stuff. just curious what other people think

Well I suppose just at the end of a specific topic. My chats ramble too but I don’t feel the need to keep them forever and it’s probably not a good idea to have years worth of info on your phone like that, although maybe that’s a bit paranoid! It’s not like I’m going to scroll through years of random chats, so I delete them whenever it feels appropriate.

There isn’t a soecific topic in most of mine. There might be a patch where it’s ’what time shall we do coffee tomorrow’ but that’s incidental to the rest of the chat which is just…chat. Not about anything much. It doesn’t end.
Edit: with fb it isn’t even really on your phone. It’s on fb.

It’s perfectly normal for people to not go through and delete their chat histories

Same but I just delete when it gets to the end of a conversation or the end of the day or whatever. I don’t think people are wrong not to delete or anything, it’s just what I do.

I don’t do Facebook or anything though, just WhatsApp really.

I think this is a bit unusual. It’s just easier to start a new conversation if you don’t have to search the person again.
