This feature allows you to restore supported deleted messages.

You can permanently delete messages using the available deletion options.

Local information may remain on your device until you delete it, clear the app's data, or uninstall the application, depending on Android system behavior and the particular feature.

Advertising and analytics providers may independently process certain technical information as described in this policy.

9. Data Sharing
