Bug Description

Steps to Reproduce

1. Send a message in Note to Self on either Desktop or Android
2. Try to delete it from Android

Actual Result:

Only "Delete for Me" option available.

Expected Result:

Should be able to choose "Delete for Me" or "Delete for Everyone". It's quite annoying that if I try to delete something from my phone then I also have to delete it from my desktop manually also.

I think it's worth mentioning that the desktop version of Signal currently has this ability (and it deletes the message on android too) but as this issue describes, you can't initiate the same from android.

A few days ago, I thought I had found out that yes, indeed, on desktop it works, and not on Android – like @losuler is describing.
After researching and fiddling around, I actually found out that the option “delete for all” in general is only possible for messages sent within the last 3 hours, independent from the current app you are using.
And then I verified that, indeed, it works like that, also on Android: new messages can be deleted for “everyone”.
Described here: https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360050426432-Delete-for-everyone

So, I found this feature request, which requests exactly the behaviour we want:
Independently from the feature in chats with other users, in chats with “ourselves”, i.e. note so self, we want to be able to delete messages no matter how old they are. Like scratching through something on your notebook or erasing it.
https://community.signalusers.org/t/allow-delete-for-everyone-in-note-to-self-with-no-time-limit-or-tombstone/17528

Thus, this is technically not a bug, @Victor239 .
But we should in any way support the feature request :-)

/edit:
aaand there is this issue on github: signalapp/Signal-Desktop#643

and btw, when assessing this "feature": I think you can only “delete message for everyone” (within 3 hours) on the same device you used for sending the message.

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

I still experience this. Android version 5.28.10, Linked device version 5.28.0 (Linux).
