If messages are missing in ChatDaddy:
- Your phone always has the full history — open the WhatsApp app to read anything ChatDaddy didn't sync.
- Scroll to the top of the chat in ChatDaddy — older messages load in batches; keep scrolling to pull more.
- If no more messages load, those older messages can't be retrieved through ChatDaddy — WhatsApp only hands over a limited window of history to linked devices.
Why this happens: QR/Coexistence connections work like WhatsApp Web — WhatsApp decides how much history to sync (roughly the most recent 92% of messages; very old chats and some media may never sync).
