    I’d just be happy if there was a way to restore my messages from Android to iOS (or vice-versa). I’m going to lose my messages from the past 4 years because of this. And it’s been an open request with the devs for 5 years now.

      Yeah, they seem to put a lot of energy into esoteric features, when the app is in serious need of some quality of life improvements. I donate a tiny monthly sum to the project and honestly feel conflicted about how effectively it’s being used.

        Or maybe chat history just isn’t that important overall. I can do backups just fine on android but have only used that once. I wouldn’t be too concerned if I lost all of my chats, as I’ve already read them.

        The core security and privacy features are what’s most important. I’d prefer they keep those as the top priority.

          i have disappearing messages set for 2 weeks by default.

          i can’t understand why anybody would need a 5 year history of their chats 🤷

          i remember using icq 🙊 i would have encyclopedic chat histories if i kept them. Chat is chat. Wind in the air. You hear it, then it’s gone.
