disabling auto-save in private messaging

Question

We are wondering how or if can we disable auto-save? Currently autosave happens on both forum posts and private messages. The issue with private messages is that whatever text has been written will be saved and so if a member switches conversations and replies to more than one person the text will appear in the message box of whichever conversation they open. This has the potential for members to accidentally send messages intended for one recipient to another recipient and therefore has implications for GDPR

The issue within private messaging/conversations requires rapid (< 1 second on each conversation) switching. This issue has been logged as:

 Additionally, I'll log the ability to disable auto-saving site-wide as: 
 TE-18108: Add option to disable auto-saving in the content editor Planned 
 Note that, as Christopher G. Stanton mentions, the auto-saved data is stored in the user's browser using local storage and not on the website. This store is cleared when committed and only uncommitted content from the last 5 editing contexts is stored for restoration.
