Open the original- What it measures
- The relay carries recordings and transcripts between the iPhone companion and the user's computer when the two are not on the same network. The page says the phone and computer hold the keys, and the relay cannot decrypt what it forwards.
- What it does not show
- The relay is used only when the phone and computer are not on the same local network. Recordings sent directly over the local network do not pass through the relay. The 7 days is an upper limit, so the relay may delete sooner.
