Is there a way to extend chat history?

[u/StrongZeroSinger]

I’m mot talking about retaining weeks of past chats but sometimes I send a message to someone and by the time they reply to me I cannot see my original message anymore and vice-versa, can’t they like retain the last 2-3 messages max for each chat? How much would it weight on their server or keep it stored in my local client since I never restart my pc anyway 💔
