Yes. I keep my iMessages forever, and even back them up (as well as my photo library) as part of my desktop backups.

I’m switching my social networks to Telegram after Signal burned up its good will focusing on features they want versus what their users want. Do I care if it’s as secure? No, I prefer the convenience and superior UX iMessages and Telegram offers.

Really unfortunate, as it was Signal’s race to lose after their bump in usage and shoutouts from popular folks using it.

It seems to me like Signal has been focusing on making their UX closer to Telegrams. This seems to be what many users want?
