The disappearing messages timer settings are really convoluted and complex. It could've been a lot more flexible without adding more complexity to the code. This is not going to change why I don't use Signal as much though. I try to partition my conversation modes if possible (since not many people I know use Signal). If there's anything very sensitive or isn't needed after a while, I'd use Signal. The fact that it doesn't even have chat backup and restore for iOS (I'm not talking about transferring from one phone to another when they're in close proximity) forces me to avoid using it for important stuff that I'd prefer to have around. I use Telegram for the conversations that matter, and the fast search feature in Telegram has come to be of great use for more times than I can count or remember. Not to mention Telegram is far too feature rich than Signal can hope to be in the next few years.
