Beside the point: I still don't get why anyone wants to keep conversation history.

Are we reliving particularly nice interactions with loved ones?

Photos and home videos I totally get. But even going back a day in a conversation history can be a significant chore if I didn't 'save the link' or remember a date or whatever. I couldn't imagine ever trawling through all that text unless by necessity.

The argument changes slightly if someone wants to recreate a friend by throwing conversation into the model or context or whatever, but I find that creepy and it's a relatively new thing.

Maybe I'm just sentimental via pictures. I love conversing in text, but I'm just not sentimental for it in any way. Other people are allowed to be, but I don't understand it.
