are you using your own server? I have never heard of such issue and not experienced it despite intensive use, so it's a bit strange that you and people you know have experienced this repeatedly.

imho it's the best out there - no unnecessary coupling to a phone client - no coupling to any other client - I can just put my recovery key in and be verified without having to deal with other apps.

by tcfhgj 11mo ago
I have never failed at that. Worst case I type my recovery key and done. I still have my encrypted messages available from 2020

The GDPR surely didn't have an influence on that. The GDPR is technologically agnostic about tracking. You don't accept, then no tracking either way.

Apps won't be able to synchronize if the service doesn't support it and there is no protocol support for it?

by tcfhgj 11mo ago
does it handle group chats, synchronization of messages, identity verification (for e2ee)?
