Deleting message on phone should delete on GV

[runnirr]

Unsure if I want this behavior. Don't want to accidentally delete convos. Convos don't match perfectly between GV and SMS

how about making it so deleting a message on the phone archives it on GV?

[lilyanatia]

also, making it so archiving or deleting a message from GV also deletes it on the phone would be nice.

Deleting on phone and archiving on GV would be possible, but not instant (in the same way the mark as read stuff is).

GV requires a unique identifier for the conversation/message that you are updating (archiving in this case). This identifier is not stored on the device when the message is saved into the SMS history. As such, we would need some way to match up an SMS message with the appropriate GV message. The timestamp of the message is the same between GV and the device, but not for messages sent from the phone. The message content is saved, but you could send two messages with the same content, so this would not be unique.

Deleting on GV --> delete on phone, I will not even try. Similar issues to stated above, but will the added problem of deleting carrier messages on the device that the user wanted to keep.
