Hiding relevant info behind "..." all over the post is annoying. Instead of reading through it like normal one has to read and click those little dots a dozen times.

I'll save you the trouble:

- Even if you choose not to back up your chats, someone you are talking to can do it, and your messages to them will be saved in their backup.

- 100 MiB of message storage is free.

- Last 45 days of media storage is free.

- Beyond that you have to pay $1.99 per month, and get 100 GB of storage.

- Backups happen once a day.

I found those bits useful, but also realized that this crude interface could be an accessibility issue. People would’ve been better served with these points directly inline.
