Well, seamless... on iOS they just lean on iCloud and dump/backup everything with no way of historicizing. It’s easy only until you’ve hit the iCloud free tier limit

Uh, I thought it was obvious I was referring to to WhatsApp. Have you ever used it?
I used to quite a lot, but not very often these days.
I’m surprised by your answer. You’re literally reacting but ignoring the rhetorical aspects of my question and its implications. I guess it’s a way to drop the discussion
Would a simple "Yes" been a better answer to you? I felt like that would have been to short and wanted to add a little bit more context.
