  1. @asphyxiation @thefrenchcritic Twidere and AndStatus should work but the latter caches huge amounts of data. There's also lightweight stuff like Mustard but it won't allow you to attach images without crashing.

    1. @roka # should delete images and messages according to AndStatus Settings -> Storage -> History Size/History Time

      1. @andstatus @thefaico it does but the lowest deletion thresholds (500 messages or one day) can still clog up built-in memory on certain low-memory devices, especially since the only choices for storage are /data/ or /storage/emulated/0/. Doubly so if you follow artists on pawoo and opt to *not* disable displaying attachments.

        To be fair, it is absolutely a matter of setting AndStatus up appropriately but can still be annoying.

        Newer Androids (6+ afair) at least have an option of pooling internal and external memory together - but that requires a format.

        1. @roka I created the feature ticket: "Maximum size of cached images, Mb" with a default value of 100 Mb
          I.e. we may decide to store messages for years, but have a reasonable limit for avatars and attachments.

          Avatars are much smaller than attachments, so maybe internally # will distribute the whole allocated size between them so that avatars could live longer in the cache.
