On a device with many gigabytes of RAM and probably terabytes of storage.
I guess when you have billions of users, and presumably tens or hundreds of billions of instances of a thing living in your sever every bit adds up? I don't even know where to even start doing the napkin math for something like that.
100 billion messages per day and over half of them in groups apparently. It's a lot, but 3 bytes per message is still not a lot of data. I'd guess they pack the metadata as tight as possible.
