Zendesk Messaging reset chat history when start a conversation
Posted Jul 28, 2023
Hi,
I'm working on Zendesk messaging integration for iOS app. When I start a new conversation, it always displays the chat history from previous one even it's unauthenticated user. I have tried to find the option to enable/disable chat history from admin console tool, but it seems now does not have that kind of option anymore. I'm wondering whether is it possible to reset chat history in client side? The attachment is what I found the internet which has the option I wanted.

That is just what I am looking for also.

You can find this option in Messaging -> Authentication section

Yes, we need the same option.
If we enable the [Remember History] feature, customers won't have to start over every time they close the window to provide screenshots or videos. That's what we need now.

Hey everyone,
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. Currently, this option is available only for the web widget. However, we recognize the value of having it on mobile as well. We've added this feature request to our backlog for future consideration. This means we'll evaluate it as a potential priority in our upcoming planning cycles.
We'll keep this post open for further comments, so please feel free to share additional feedback and use cases. As per our Community Guidelines, please note that we may not be able to prioritize every piece of feedback we receive.
Thank you again for your input and for being a valued Zendesk customer.
Best,
Anastasiya

We need to have this as an option to turn on/off the chat history. Is there any update on this?

This is painful! Such a basic feature from a UX point of view that should have been there already. What's the workaround to this?

It would be nice to get an update from Zendesk Product.

We recently activated Messaging (with AI capabilities) on a Brand which requires users to sign in. We have established end user authentication bridging what I understand is legacy Sunshine Conversation technology into native Zendesk.
Our users are noticing that, even with our “Forget History” option enabled (Messaging > [Brand] > Authentication) we are still seeing all history retained within each end user's chatbot window. This is not desired as not only is it quickly becoming cluttered, but end users are invertedly asking questions within existing tickets, not realizing they need to click the “←” arrow and then New Conversation.
Is there scope to bring this Forget History into this area of the product?
Thank you,

I cannot believe this is still an issue. This has been open since Dec. 2023 and I've seen may other requests for similar functionality. Can we please get an update on this?!?!?!
