It would be really useful to have more client-side control over media storage. That way, I could better manage storage growth without wiping entire threads.

For example, being able to see all media across chats, sort by file size, and optionally group by conversation would make it much easier to clean things up.

To your point: What I am missing with Signal:

Choice to always store media locally on the phone.

What I miss with most messenger apps: Archiving old stuff and offload it to a remote device.

Right now Signal is 8GB in size and doesn't stop growing.
