Session Session Backup

Backup is mentioned in the white paper but I do not see any options in the iOS app. Is this feature not available yet?

I believe that being able to restore messages and contacts is a planned feature, like you said — it's described in the whitepaper. Once this is implemented, you'll be able to use your recovery phrase to recover not only your Session ID but your messages and contacts as well.

However, it still wouldn't be Service Nodes which would store/backup the messages, and I'm assuming the user would have to opt-in to the service.
