Clearly you haven't tried using Signal on multiple devices. It's terrible currently. Telegram / WhatsApp / etc work great on multiple devices.
- solarkraft 3y ago(I'm partially utilizing Cunningham's law here) Because all the really security focused apps insist on per-device private keys, so everything has to be re-encrypted by everyone per the other users' device. This mitigates key leakage problems to some extent, but also makes the UX as awful as you describe. I don't understand why nobody (to my knowledge) has yet gone the middle route of having a private key per user. Sure, it's a bit less secure, but it's surely better than users preferring to use un(e2e)encrypted options instead?!
- kitkat_new 3y agoMatrix has this as an option

- Moldoteck 3y agoI said it's cooler for encrypted stuff compared to telegram not for features/ux. I use both and I'm fully aware telegram ux and easy of inter device operation is superior(well, they have some minor ux problems because of Premium but still, these are minor)
