re: L.A. Times: Mayor Karen Bass Is Deleting Her Text Messages

There is an auto delete text feature. You can set it to auto delete conversations after one month or one year. It’s a storage saving feature. That being said, you have to go out of your way to use it, and someone in her position absolutely knows better. Also, even if they were ‘auto deleted’, there’s still a way to get them. Just like other criminals caught by texts.
