Oh I honestly didnt understand there’s a perpetual database you can go back and look at, I didnt even know i had one on android, I just turned that off.
I understood it as they need a database to hold the notifications you should be shown and it gets purged eventually kinda thing.
As a history it makes sense, and that its something that can leak.
Also if you leave it on, uninstalling an app should definitely purge its history.
