Zephro posted:Most chat programs have a button to clear your history, but while the mobile version of Talk has one of these, the desktop version - the one you access from within a browser while logged into your gmail account - doesn't seem to. If you view the chat log in the 'chats' section, you get a "delete hangout history" button, which removes the record of the chat from the "chat" section of your gmail account. But if I then double-click on the contact's name to bring up a new chat window a few hours later, the history is still there and I can scroll right back through it. Or at least sometimes it is; it seems that if I wait for some indetermined length of time it eventually goes away. Clearing the history on my phone only clears it on the phone - the history stays put on my desktop browser. https://support.google.com/hangouts/answer/3115403?hl=en quote:While Hangout history is turned off, each message will be visible in the Hangout window for a short period of time and will then be deleted from the Hangout window. Alternative clients aren't likely to help much since all the logging is happening server side; unless you main concern is someone being able to casually glace over your shoulder and see something. Captain Foo posted:Google records everything you've ever put into g chat. Forever. https://ssd.eff.org/tech/im quote:Google OTR is a feature of the Google instant messaging service that allows you to request that neither Google nor the people your talk to should be able to log your conversations. Unfortunately, there is no plausible enforcement mechanism for this feature.
