We are getting Cloud Backups in the future! Currently, there are two tiers planned:

The free tier offers:

30 days of media backup
??? GB of storage

The paid ($3 / mo) tier offers:

media & text backup forever
1TB of storage Both tiers' features and the pricing of the paid plan are still subject to change

What do you think about this?

Can someone explain use case for me? I assume it's for folks who don't autodelete messages and want the encryption and non-spying but the same chat 'archive' of other apps like FB Messenger, WhatsApp, etc.?

Pretty much yea

I'd like to have this replace messenger/WhatsApp/etc. for as many people as possible

Like if you drop your phone and it gets run over by a truck, you can buy a new phone and have all of your chat history still.
