Yeah, the main reason that pushed me away from using it more was the instability/unreliability.
So for family and non-techy friends, Signal was just the way better option.
@Karb_Derg yeah, agreed. Also, my matrix client tends to fall silent and not give me any notifications until I open it, which is almost never, since I don't have a lot of activity on matrix 🙃
I have indie developed a Matrix iOS client called Nil.
It not only comes with basic features like encryption, rich notifications. But also with:
🐈⬛ Tenor GIF
✨ Local AI (Phi or Llama) to chat with, ask for message summaries, and reply suggestions
🗂️ Message room folders
☕️ Customizable reaction emojis
⌚️Upcoming WatchOS, MacOS, VisionOS app
