It's too easy to permanently delete a message

[marmistrz]

DESCRIPTION

There's no confirmation or undoing for deleting messages

STEPS

1. Select a message
2. Click the delete button in the status bar

EXPECTED

Either (a) a confirmation dialog is displayed before deleting the message or (b) there's an undo option to restore the deleted message.

OBSERVATIONS

The message is permanently deleted, without any confirmation or a way to restore it.

TBH I think a trash bin is best which automatically purges every 30 days so you're not caught out by a very limited opportunity to reverse the deletion.

Please add a trash bin.

Upvoting this. Just accidentally deleted SMS with my parcel details. Now new quest "try your best to get your parcel without this SMS" awaits me... Simple confirmation as suggested in #1811 / #1307 can prevent such situations in future.

Having Recycle Bin would be nice, however confirmation dialog is a must. And I think that "delete to Recycle Bin" should be optional. I.e. it shall be possible to disable it in Settings. Kind of my personal view on privacy. E.g. I always disable Recycle Bin feature for Gallery apps.

Happened to me one minute ago because I wanted to touch the information button but my finger was a little too much on the right :(

So I upvote this.

Confirming, just add a confirmation dialog, it's good enough and I hope easy enough.

This app just screwed me big time. It's extremely easy to delete a message when you have to copy it. My entire weekend is now ruined because I needed a GPS address. What a disaster!
