Does VERGR store my messages?

Yes. Vergr keeps your direct messages and group chats so they're there on every device you sign in on. They aren't scanned or read by moderators.

• Disappearing messages, in a chat's details, delete messages after the time you choose.
• Clear chat history removes a chat's messages for you.
• In the phone app, Settings, then Backup and export, saves your chats to a file.
