You can now delete your own messages in chats and activity comments. In group chats the admins can delete any messages. You can delete any comments on your own activities. Click a message and choose “Delete” from the menu to delete it.

Deleted messages are replaced with “(deleted)” in the db so it is not possible to get them back.

Is it possible to delete a user from my the list of people in my chats? If so, how? 'cause I can’t find a way.

I have just added an option to hide private chats. The chat will come back if a new message is sent by either party.
