I want to migrate my friends to self-hosted Matrix server I have for some time now. The problem is, that all Android clients seem missing for me. Element is too buggy (especially for encryption) and has bad UX. Element X is still experimental and lacks core features. FluffyChat has most features and nice ones like stickers, but calls or location sharing is here as a placeholder but not really working.

If you migrated someone to Matrix, what client did you found out to “be working” for people not caring about protocol? Because I care for protocol and can stand some bugs, that others could not.

    If they don’t care about the protocol, choose a protocol that doesn’t take minutes just to join rooms & has clients that use less data/power so the family isn’t annoyed to have that app on their phone.
