It says using ~15GB? already. But doesn't say RAM or disk. That seems to matter.

Maybe it would be ok for absolutely non perf critical task. But for a chat app you're probably gonna get loads of problems if it starts to run slow with missed notifications and so on.

I would not have asked if I already knew the answer. I only asked again because I did not know the answer. Is that really surprising and offensive behavior? What do you do?
"Well, what do you mean? Volatile or non-volatile storage?"
and someone would have told you what I just told you. Instead you chose to reply as if that person was being a smartass by replying "it's 16 GB of either disk or RAM" (i.e. providing no new information whatsoever).
If you engage with people assuming that they're not being stupid or liars and that they have good reasons to say the things they do, you'll usually have fewer conflicts.
"Volatile or non-volatile?" means exactly the same as what I asked. Repeating it would not add any more information.
To assume I was calling anybody stupid or a liar is an extremely uncharitable interpretation. The reasonable one is that I did not get an answer to what I asked, exactly as I said.
>I replied indicating the answer did not provide me the information I had asked for.
Yes, and that's part of the problem. Part of it is how you phrased it. The "maybe answer that?" is particularly rude; you're being sarcastic to someone who's just helpfully answering an inquiry. But also the problem is that you didn't say "I don't understand what you mean". You said "maybe answer that".
Phrases like "I don't understand what you mean" leave open whether it is you who's missing something or the other person who's saying something nonsensical and just focus on the fact that there's been a failure to communicate and signal that you just want to fix that.
"Maybe answer the question" says that it is definitely not you who's not getting it and puts all the blame on the other person for at the very least not being clear enough.
But the reply did not offer any information at all, so I asked for clarification.
Downvoting people for asking for clarification (-4 already!) is just spiteful. It would have been less work for everybody to answer the question that was asked, the second time if not the first.
Unless it keeps as many copies of everything as people who get it. That would be dumb.
But I was told that is what Gmail does. Every GIF animation, cat video, and corrupted SPAM jpg attached is stored as many millions of times as people who saw it, and probably as many again as forwarded it.
