Why do you need a message history? The only use I can think of, if someone uses it against you in court. I don't remember looking up anything in history.

- bjoli 10mo agoBecause of family phonos shared between me an my siblings, and between me and my wife. All our communication is over signal, so it is a nice record to have.
- gojomo 10mo agoI look up old iMessages, emails, group chat comments, and so forth constantly, often finding valuable gems of wit, reference-material, recommendations, or media that I dimly remember from years or even decades ago. Signal and other messaging apps offer a 'search' bar across all sessions & history, so I doubt I'm the only one. It's hard for me to imagine being so present-focused such a history wouldn't be personally useful. Or, so worried about "someone [using] it against [me] in court" that I'd need more than the occasional auto-expiration, and specifically my messenger "protecting" me with intermittently-enforced loss-of-histories (on just theft/loss/hard-failure of primary device).
