Signal has a function to delete messages after a set interval (after having read it.)

I don't know about Sky ECC, but Signal requires a Phone # to register, as far as I remember. It's increasingly hard to get anonymous Phone # in the EU. That might be an argument against using it.

Open the Desktop Signal app, connect it to your phone, and watch it download all the supposedly "expired" messages.

They will not always be shown, but they are downloaded.
