Once any data is off your device and (decrypted) on someone else's, you must assume that they have full control over it, which includes backups. Anything else is poor privacy practice, security through obscurity.
- medstrom 3y agoIn principle you're correct, but in practice, the lack of an export feature is enough to make sure that 99 out of 100 conversations don't get leaked to third parties. You don't know with perfect certainty which ones do get leaked anyway, but...
