Chat & Messaging
Learn how chat invites work, how deleted messages behave, and when to block or report.
Chat invites
- A chat invite is a deliberate request to start a conversation.
- The recipient can accept, ignore, decline, block, or report depending on the situation.
- Sending repeated unwanted invites can violate SameHive rules.
Deleting messages
- Delete for me removes a message from your view.
- Delete for everyone attempts to remove the message for all participants when available.
- Deleted content may still be retained temporarily for safety, legal, fraud prevention, or abuse investigation purposes.
Block and report
- Block limits visibility and messaging paths between you and the blocked account.
- Report sends context to SameHive for review.
- Use report for harassment, threats, impersonation, hate, scams, sexual content violations, or unsafe offline behavior.
FAQ
What does delete for everyone mean?
It attempts to remove a message from all participants' chat views. SameHive may retain limited records when required for safety, legal, or abuse-prevention reasons.
Why did a chat disappear?
A user may have deleted their account, blocked you, lost access, been moderated, or the conversation may have expired under product rules.
How do chat invites work?
A chat invite asks someone to start a conversation. The recipient can accept, ignore, decline, block, or report it.
Can I send repeated invites if someone does not respond?
No. Repeated unwanted invites, pressure, or attempts to bypass silence or decline can violate SameHive rules.
What is delete for me?
Delete for me removes a message or conversation from your own view. It does not necessarily remove it for the other participant.
Can SameHive review deleted messages?
SameHive may retain and review limited records when needed for safety, abuse investigation, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or dispute resolution.
Can I recover a deleted chat?
Deleted chats usually cannot be restored by the user. If the chat involved a safety concern, submit a report with as much context as possible.
When should I report a chat?
Report harassment, threats, hate, sexual pressure, scams, impersonation, illegal content, or any message that makes you feel unsafe.
