- Wowfunhappy 4y agoBut I think that's what godelski is saying is a bit of a contradiction. If this "accessible searchable archive" is stored "off of the device", how exactly would the device access and search the archive? Facebook can store your Facebook Chat history on their servers no problem, but E2E encryption makes this much more complicated for Signal! It's not impossible, Apple does it with iMessage, although that was actually a pretty recent addition despite all of Apple's resources!

These two cannot work without a storage server. I have suggested a method of using the desktop client as the storage server but I agree that there is no great solution. > It's not impossible, Apple does it with iMessage That does come with significant tradeoffs though. Now we have to trust Apple that they haven't taken our keys and that they still aren't handing over this data. It is a tricky situation.
