I think it only syncs media sent the last 45days though. Did they change that too?
I mean sure, technically that is a limitation. Realistically though, that is long enough.
Or do you regularly not open the desktop client for more than 45 days?
More of a problem when adding a new desktop.
Yeah, this. They should really make an os-agnostic database of the chats to freely export/import among devices, like simpleX allows
Why do you need this? I'm curious because I didn't even notice Signal had this restriction. To me instant messenges really aren't something that I'd ever need an archive of.
Interesting feature, surely possible. I have seen that on "Threema". Of course, secured by two layers of passwords/-phrases and strict connection procedure.
