    Can someone explain use case for me? I assume it’s for folks who don’t autodelete messages and want the encryption and non-spying but the same chat ‘archive’ of other apps like FB Messenger, WhatsApp, etc.?

      Pretty much yea

      I’d like to have this replace messenger/WhatsApp/etc. for as many people as possible

      Like if you drop your phone and it gets run over by a truck, you can buy a new phone and have all of your chat history still.
