#72Sorry for the self-promotion, but this sounds a lot like Peaked, an Android app I built.. It is privacy-first and your data stays on your device. Also it's completely free (as in beer): https://peaked.today It serves my purpose (and that of some friends), so I have no plans to monetise or even update it.

#73One can do note taking with self on Whatsapp. Quoting from whatsapp website ( https://faq.whatsapp.com/5913398998672934 ) > Use " rel="nofollow">https://wa.me/ where the is a full phone number in international format. Put your own number and you chat with yourself. Pin it to top, so it's always there. I use it to add information, search later use cases.
BUT you won't find anything if you search for "me", you have to search for "you".

They also handle and store users backup unencrypted by default so they have access to all messages in plaintext in multiple opportunities.
Meta has access to the backups that are stored on each individual’s Google Drive/iCloud? How does that work exactly? Please elaborate.
Why the surprise?
Meta has access to the folder it manages in the user's Google Drive. That's obvious, otherwise they wouldn't be able to write to it.

#75I use Whatsapp often and one major issue I have with the app is how older media gets lost in the history, it's not retrievable anymore, you can only see the blurry thumbnail but downloading it again will not be possible. So until recently, I've considered everything I send on whatsapp as ephemeral unless I back it up. Also, is exporting possible? Let's say I would like to export all text / media to my pc, is that pos…

#78Telegram would be a better choice as you can use multiple devices. You can retrieve old images/docs And it has an API for your bot that you can use to post content from anywhere.

#79Out of curiosity why WhatsApp vs regular SMS (via Twilio)?
Also, interactive elements like buttons/images etc. are not supported.

It's mentioned right below "14-day Free Trial" but I need to make it more obvious. "You can try THB out for 14 days for absolutely free. At the end of the trial period, you can choose between our monthly ($5 per month) or annual ($48 per year) subscription plans." I have also added it in the bot before you subscribe to the free trial. Thanks for the feedback.
Pricing feedback: That's $13/yr more than the full-blown Day One premium service.
