essentially, yes. There are two levels of encryption keys and they “ratchet” along (change). Only the lower level is used to encrypt the text so it’s much harder to figure out the other one.
@sexy_peach Thank you very much! Just now wondering, handle WA this differently? Since Ig we all know this message which appears when the “keys” ig, changed
