In Delta Chat, where do those so-called “Device messages” come from?
Who is the sender behind and how do they communicate with the receivers?
How do they know the addresses to send them to?
Thank you
They are generated by your Delta Chat client. I.e., they are not leaving your device and you can’t answer them.
You mean they are written by the developers and I can only get new messages if I update the app?
Here it says they are “Locally generated messages”, however it also says they inform about app updates. An app update message is not a locally generated message, it needs some kind of communication to trigger that message.
Can someone shed some light on this matter?
the device messages work totally offline, without any network required.
what the description means that after you have installed an update, you may get information about the already installed updated, eg. “what’s new”.
the device message do not inform you “hey, there is a new update, please install”. recommended way for that is to install from a source with automatic updates.
