It seems new devices are only able to access history up to three months before the first access. I'd probably give up e2e for a cloud/desktop searchable chat history. Love that I can easily lookup old chats in google talk/hangouts from the gmail webapp. Saved me plenty of times I needed some important information without any backup except vaguely remembering talking about it in chat with my partner.
- kitkat_new 5y agoElement gives you infinite desktop searchable chat history for e2ee chats
- aulin 5y agoit would be great if you could choose an IM platform for its features, unfortunately you have to stick with what your contacts use
- kevincox 5y agoMatrix does have great bridging support so it is maybe the way out. With 2 bridges I've reduced myself to 2 chat apps (Matrix + the occasional SMS) which I am very happy with. It obviously isn't the final solution, but gives me a consistent interface across networks while I slowly grow my Matrix-native network.
- rohithkp 5y agoDid you experience any quirks or problems using the bridges for WhatsApp? Are you running a matrix bridge instance on a personal cloud instance?
- kevincox 5y agoI'm not using a WhatsApp bridge so I can't comment on that bridge specifically. Few of my contacts are on that so I was able to drop it. I am self-hosting a Facebook bridge and Hangouts/Google Chat bridge amd using a hosted Telegram bridge.
