[Q] Kicked from group as a joke, all messages gone.
I'm screwed right? Friend kicked me as a joke, when he added me back years of messages were lost. Another friend sent me the HTML export for the text messages and he'll soon send the media files, but it's not the same.. Is there any way to restore it?

Is the group settings allowing new members to see chat history?
They were turned off, turning them on and rejoining the group simply shows the "new" messages, not all of them.
Try being kicked again and added now that the setting is on
It loads the messages I previously had before getting kicked for the second time, but not from the beginning. Some other dude commented here that Telegram only saves up to 100 messages, that might have something to do with it, I don't know. (can't see his comment for some reason). Thanks for the help though, nice to learn about the chat history feature.
Telegram lets you see 100 messages if the chat history is hidden, if it is not then it shows every message
