Where and how many

  • DMs, groups and thread replies. Not in Note to Self, flocks or private chats, and not for view-once photos.
  • From 1 minute to 120 days ahead; up to 50 waiting per chat and 200 per account.
  • If the group's members change before the time, your phone re-seals the message for the new key next time the app is open. A phone that stays closed sends it late.
  • If it cannot be sent (you left, or were blocked), it shows in red as “not sent” and you get a notification.
