I have read in the TOS for the Matrix server that all messages are deleted after one year. If I am talking with someone, does that mean that messages that are older than a year are deleted on my side, or both sides of the conversation? What if the chat is E2EE? If I am using a device that is signed in and has seen old messages, are they removed from that device too?

    Cant answer your question, but i know you can export your entire chatlog for a room in plain text or html if you are concerned about losing your chats.

    Edit: Just checked my client and i still have messages older than 1 year ago, although i dont have the encryption keys for those for some reason but they are not “deleted”.
