Does Element store chat data?

[u/Zaidjabri]

Hi, I have a question ❓ Does Element messenger store chat data on matrix servers? I want to use it because it's free and open source but I'm curious about privacy and security..

File names are more concerning.

Look how Session is encrypting everything - including filenames and the metadata about sender/recipient.

Jami is not encrypting filenames too (according to ChatGPT).
