And interesting enough, Matrix faces a different problem than Signal: It doesn't have many good clients at all (at least, last I had checked a few months back). I will agree it would be very nice if Matrix was the dominant messaging protocol that everyone needed to speak with their friends. However, that's not feasible until somebody makes an easy-to-use, beautiful Android and iOS client that doesn't require the user to install multiple bridges or wrangle several accounts to chat with their friends.
- zanny 10y agoI have no experience with iOS anything, but at least the Matrix Console Android client is pretty good for what I use it for. It even supports multiple simultaneous accounts which I really appreciate. I believe the iOS version of it is very similar.

- ryukafalz 10y agoVector is now out on both Android[1] and iOS[2], and the web version of Vector has improved significantly. It doesn't have end to end encryption support yet, but they're working on it. 1: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=im.vector.alpha https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=im.vector.alph... 2: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vector.im/id1083446067 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vector.im/id1083446067
- Arathorn 10y agoYup, it's very true that until recently native Matrix clients have been geared up for developers. Hopefully the arrival of FOSS yet polished apps like Vector (https://vector.im https://vector.im) changes that - and meanwhile one can always benefit from Matrix via bridges from existing polished apps (e.g. Slack!)
