  1. Sir,
    Testing Type : UAT
    Scenario : Deleting the unwanted messages from the group
    Specification : It is an “Erase” option found in the application but the functionality is a bit traditional i feel, because it is used to erase all the messages in the chat ( group or Single)
    Solution : Add a filter to erase the selective unwanted messages for example from a person or type of message pic / video etc
