it looks like it can’t be disabled for view-once media (or at least, that’s what the settings screen says)

I wonder if view-once media is even handled the same way as a regular attachment (using CF) or is sent more like a regular message.

I imagine if one really wanted it to be view-once, it wouldn't go to a CDN.

Thanks for pointing this out!

I think view-once media there means media hosted on signal servers, not remote servers? But not entirely sure.
I'd love a hard answer to this if anyone knows or has time to look at the source code.
