And if so, why exactly? It says it’s end-to-end encrypted. The metadata isn’t. But what is metadata and is it bad that it’s not? Are there any other problematic things?

I think I have a few answers for these questions, but I was wondering if anyone else has good answers/explanations/links to share where I can inform myself more.

    When you log into another device, if all your chat history shows up, then their servers have your encryption key.

    Or the chat history gets transferred (encrypted) from the device that has the history stored locally.
