The way I'm reading/understanding this is that they have the encrypted messages, but don't specify whether they are stored. However, since the messages are encrypted, they don't have the message contents/that information. Concluding, they may have all the messages saved, albeit in an encrypted format and with minimal metadata.
Did I come to the right conclusion? Or does Signal not store the encrypted message data either?
Considering the way they claim to minimize the metadata stored, I wouldn't expect them to store encrypted message content after it is delivered to the client.
It'd be difficult to delete metadata about a message, but still keep the content. And they are claiming to not retain message metadata.
