Berty product

Mobile app

Feature request

Add an option to “hide” contacts and groups from the list, as it doesn’t imply deletion from the other side, but allows you to remove unwanted contacts or groups you previously joined.

Context

Deleting stuff is almost necessary in any modern chat app, but because the Berty protocol doesn’t really allow for true deletion, hiding contacts and groups is the best alternative.

Possible implementation

Just an function on long press and/or swipe of a contact or group. Optionally a menu to restore hidden contacts or groups in settings.
