    Okay, but can’t it be an optional feature? I’d like it if a new device could download message history from an old device by having both online at the same time.

      Optional how so? It’s a rotating key. Unless you have all of those keys to export into your computer, then you’ll be stuck with the current synced key.

        You can still push old message history from your main device to your other devices, you can re-encrypt

        I don’t see why the current key can’t encrypt old messages and send those. I admit I might be missing something obvious though. Maybe something like not wanting to accidentally leak old messages? As in it’s less attack surface or something?
