# Managing Your Data
|
|
|
|
## Automatic message deletion
|
|
|
|
Here you can choose to delete messages from your local chat database after a set period of time.
|
|
|
|
**Please note**: This option does not delete messages for other users, only for you. This option is set independently for each chat profile.
|
|
|
|
## Chat Database

|
To open your chat database settings:
|
|
|
|
- [Open the app settings](./app-settings.md#opening-the-app-settings).
|
|
- Tap on "Database passphrase & export" button.

|
### App data backup
