WhatsApp: editing messages after sending them
WhatsApp recently introduced editable messages, at least in the desktop app. In other words: within the desktop app on my MacBook I can change messages after sending them – but that’s a modern feature – and if the communication partner does not have the “right version” of WhatsApp, then the change will not make it to the other side.
Telegram has had this feature for years – when I started using Telegram, this was its biggest plus.

IM clients and deleting conversations

I sort of like the feature to edit sent messages. I can somehow tolerate, that some messages can get deleted by the sender at any time. I cannot tolerate at all, that one participant can remove an entire conversation. I think the only one of the above to not support the removal of an entire conversation is Signal.
