Deleting messages was alreday supported in telegram for years. They just added the option to partially delete a whole conversation (whereas you could delete only the full conversation, or messages one by one).
How so? You could already delete the whole conversation to avoid leaving traces, or individual messages if you want to create a misleading log. What specific tactics does the new method open up?
For e.g. abusesive relation ship sever (and sadly often effective) cases of Gaslightling are pretty common, similar tackticks are often applied in other cases, too.
And with fully deleting messages this opens quite a bit of possibilities.
If they instead would just make the message unreadable, i.e. leaf a placeholder behind this would be a different thing.
