Teams is bad, but Element/Matrix is the only chat app I've used in maybe 10 years (outside of SMS) where I miss messages. I get a notification, want to read the entire message, open the app and it isn't there. I'm 99% sure it didn't get deleted, but I'll never know what it said. And since iOS makes the notification go away when you tap it, I can't even see what it was. Discord should just sell a white label version or start a subsidiary to sell to enterprise. Slack will probably get smushed by Salesforce, and short of Satya Nadella's personal laptop bursting into flames because of Teams, I doubt they'll slim down the client.

I use Element on Android and it works perfectly. I don't say that lightly, I'm pretty hard to please in general. Element is one of the few pieces of software that I don't have a complaint about.

  Actually I just thought of the single problem that I have with it - it doesn't support multiple identities. https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/2320 https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/2320 Other than that it works great though.

That sure is odd...and not my experience at all. > ...short of Satya Nadella's personal laptop bursting into flames because of Teams, I doubt they'll slim down the client. Sadly, i think you're right.

Teams is moving away from electron in v2.0, which may go some way towards slimming down the client but won't solve any of the architectural issues that come with a lack of focus. https://office365itpros.com/2021/06/25/teams20-webview2-replaces-electron/ https://office365itpros.com/2021/06/25/teams20-webview2-repl...

We treat missing msg bugs in Element as a top priority red alert for obvious reasons. I’m only aware of one recently, which was iOS specific and matches your symptoms - but very rare indeed. It got fixed in https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-ios-sdk/pull/1359 https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-ios-sdk/pull/1359 and was a leftover from the nightmare of iOS changing how push worked. Sorry that you got bitten by it. The fix is released in Element iOS 1.8.0.
