But some of my friends want it switched on as they also use it on other chat apps. Also, for me E2E crypto is not a major thing as I run my own server anyway (which I trust). I re-try Matrix every once in a while but it's still not there. In the end I just got sick of all these crypto warnings and I ended up switching to something else again. I can't expect my contacts to click buttons every time I log into a new browser or clear my cookies. This way it just won't make it to the mainstream. Whatsapp and Signal handle this way way better. I often log in to different devices (different browsers on machines at home, work, test phones etc). It's not as secure, but you really have to be a crypto geek to constantly compare fingerprints whenever they change or get added. I wish there was a way to auto-enable (but warn of a key change) them like Whatsapp does. I constantly have to re-verify contacts, it's way too much in the way of smooth communication.
It's not very efficient with screen space, if you have a LOT of chats open (many bridges!) it's hard to find what's what.īut the E2E verifications I do find troublesome. Yeah Matrix is great (I don't like the Vector/Riot/Element client much though, I wish the other clients were a bit comparable in terms of their development as Element seems to take up most of the attention). Looking forward to some IM app with SMS support to replace mine Pulse (which also got into hands of shady company, so it has now blacklisted updates)Īlso they are talking about those features for years and introducing nonsense instead bringing basics, heck it took them years to be able to send multiple photos at same time, you had to send it one by one until like 2018, I think that speaks volumes about priorities/skills of Signal devs So I installed tyo my parents and wife Google messages as backup option with chat feature, but that's not option for me without GMS I used for years combo signal+whatsapp, main reason is much better photo quality on signal and I like simpler UI, but I moved my family including parents away from Signal after they started to nag everyone with creating PIN I don't wantĪnd don't get me started un unreliable message delivery if you often switch between wifi and mobile network, whatsapp will deliver messages without any issues, it takes very long time for signal to switch to correct network Surge LOL it's not even drop in number of whatsapp users
