Well no, it doesn't keep a history of chats for once. You don't have a record of conversations if your client wasn't running at that time. There's a few other limitations that I'm not familiar with, that prompted many people and orgs to switch to things like rocket chat or matrix
So instead of keeping a record yourself, you pay someone else/use someone else’s computer to do it for you.
