When you switch devices, XMTP apps start fresh.

Like Signal or WhatsApp, message history isn't auto-synced.
Why? Because security comes first.

🔐 Avoids key storage on centralized infra.
💥 Preserves forward secrecy.

Here’s how it works.

In XMTP V3, history transfer happens device-to-device:

1. A user requests to transfer messages to a new device
2. Their other XMTP app generates a PIN or QR code
3. The user confirms or scans the code on the new device
4. Their messages are transferred

Come build the most secure and private messaging network in the world—owned by the people who build it and use it.

This is what privacy-by-design looks like

👁️ No central server can access your conversations
📱 Only devices you explicitly authorize can read your message history
🔒 XMTP is as secure as Signal for private messaging
