Removing on specific messages or parts of a conversations

Hey @depmip! This is a useful suggestion, and I can see why it would be helpful.
Being able to delete individual message bubbles, rather than removing the entire conversation, would give users more control over what stays in a chat and what gets removed. That could be especially useful for cleaning up long conversations, removing sensitive or unnecessary details, or keeping only the parts that are still helpful.
Right now, deleting a conversation removes the full chat, so I understand why more granular message-level deletion would feel cleaner and more flexible.
I can’t share a timeline right now, but I’ll pass this feedback along internally.
