Description vanboxem.ruben 2014-09-05 13:18:05 UTC 
Using the Facebook website's chat interface, I can scroll up infinitely and see every message in a conversation regardless how it was sent (website/XMPP/Mobile). Telepathy only shows the messages sent by others while it is active, and doesn't even show my own messages I sent from another device (even while the chat window is open).

Telepathy should be able to show all messages sent in Facebook Chat.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Log in, chat, send message from e.g. Android Facebook Messenger. Nothing appears in Telepathy.

There is also no way to retrieve the chat message history.

Thanks.
The xmpp gateway doesn't send it. We can't get it. Stupid facebook.

There is a reverse engineering effort in process, as the xmpp gateway is being closed in April 2015 and we want to have something. When we are native we can look at adding that this.
