Ok. Lets see https://medium.com/@wireapp/making-your-conversations-secure-dab207ab77fd https://medium.com/@wireapp/making-your-conversations-secure... does not state any information on key management solution: how encryption key is transferred to another device. But it has links to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Ratchet_Algorithm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Ratchet_Algorithm which has nothing about cross device key sharing and https://wire.com/resource/Wire%20Security%20Whitepaper/download/ https://wire.com/resource/Wire%20Security%20Whitepaper/downl.... I've read it through and found nothing on cross-device key sharing as well. Can you point me to the right part?

I'm flattered you assume I have this knowledge, but I don't. I would presume the key is derived from your sign-in information, but I honestly don't know. What I do know is that you don't have access to messages that happened before you first signed in to the device you're using. My message history is complete on the phone I created my Wire account on, but I installed it on a laptop a few days later and as such is missing those first days. Messages get delivered to all your active devices without problem though. The source code for all their different client varieties (iOS, Android, Web/Electron) and server software can be found here if you're interested [0].
