For anyone that might need to hear it. I just installed the flatpak, and when linking it to my Molly app, I saw on the app the option to sync all message history. This is what always bugged me on the desktop client. Seems they finally went ahead to enable this feature.

      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?

          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.

              Might be my data hoarding tendencies. It’s moments which I have the option to not erase and dont take up much storage, so why not. I guess with face to face communication this wouldnt be a thing, but now I have the option and it bugs me to let it go I guess.
