Structures

A conversation is a thread of messages with some user that you have added.

Conversations have an unique id and holds all the messages in that conversation. This includes the messages that you have sent as well.

A device is created when a new Bluetooth connection is made.

It is used to keep track of connected devices and keep a reference in memory of newly connected devices since connections are dropped otherwise.
