Description

When exploding messages are used, the chat maintains a visual indicator that a message was sent and afterward deleted, with no (apparent) ability to remove the exploded message itself.

This seems a little dangerous, especially in team chats, where even the knowledge that exploding messages were used might cause suspicion. I think even this information ought to be removed itself.
