Hello, all! Some of you are aware that we’ve been working on a pretty cool device-independent backup format, and now we’re looking to test our first use-case: syncing your message history with a newly-linked device! You heard that right – your newly-linked devices will finally have all of your message history 🎉 I think this is something we’ve all wanted for a while, so it’s really cool to finally build it. But building something like this is very tricky, and testing it tends to uncover lot...
It’s probably not sent P2P. It’s probably sent via their server as relay. If they pushed media from the sender device to the receiver, they’d have to reupload all that which could be a lot of traffic which costs, so they just relay the media they already have and only reupload the text. That’s my hypothesis.
