**Offline messages**
Offline messaging uses Swarms, given any users public key the user can resolve a public key to a specific grouping of Service Nodes (AKA Swarm) each user in Session Messenger belongs to a Swarm. When routing a message offline the user selects a Service node in the destination users Swarm, when the user comes online they query any node in their Swarm, if the Swarm is holding any messages for the user they disseminate those messages to the user.

Thanks for testing Session Messenger! This software is a beta version of the full Session Messenger software suite, and so is missing some of the features the full version will have.
