Messages and chat distinction confusion

[HAWK]

@stephtara

I think this might be at odds with the general population’s assumption, in a world where we all now have many years of whatsapp chats that we can dive into for xyz reason.

I don’t really use WhatsApp as anything other than a chat app, which is ephemeral. I may not understand a nuance here.

@stephtara

I think Messages and Chat map rather naturally to e-mail and instant messaging

I agree and I still feel that instant messaging is ephemeral and used to have quick discussions with people. Where are we disagreeing?
