Just to warn those who use it, Ive just discovered a Google AdMob tracker embedded into the app.
(the original app, not element X)
https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/im.vector.app/latest/#trackers
I use Fluffychat.
Use schildichat instead. Available on F-droid.
If possible drop element for SimpleX. Key management is much much easier to prevent loss of chats and metadata is properly encrypted. In element, your message may be encrypted, but the time that the message was sent at is not encrypted, any reactions to that message is not encrypted, who you sent that message to is not encrypted, and who that message is from is not encrypted.
The two have completely different goals, and SimpleX’s goal (anonymity) comes with difficulties such as not having typical “accounts”, which means no true simultaneous multi-device support.
This fails to show any lines in its libre software source code.
