Sure, conversations. But honestly I feel like saving everything just generates more noise and makes it difficult to find the signal.

Your point and use case are valid but unrelated. I agree with the parent comment but not with your sentiment.

The thing is: your use case and wants seems to be different than like, 90% of Whatsapp users, as they expect to never lose their history. So... Signal is not a replacement to Whatsapp

That's fine with me. I was just pointing out that those two requests are not really related.
I don't know much about WhatsApp, and I've never lost any message in Signal, so I am not sure I am well equipped to discuss whether it's fit for that purpose. But I would certainly love to save individual messages in some sort of vault, as well.

Please provide source for the 90% figure.
> I don't understand why people want to save their whole chat history
Valuable messages and conversations can happen too often that it's a hassle to save them manually. This is probably more common in group chats where lots of people occasionally share valuable stuff.
