Usually when alternatives for messaging apps are recommended it’s Signal, Threema or Element but all of them still seem to have small inconveniences (Signal is American, Threema isn’t free and Element just seems too complicated).
Today I stumbled upon Delta Chat for the first time and it seems to be the ideal solution. It’s european, free, open-source, decentralised, usable on almost any device and privacy focused. But the fact that I’ve never heard about it before makes me hesitant.
Has anyone of you used it and can share their experience?
Edit: Here’s a link to their official website: https://delta.chat/en/
Key management, mostly. Every time I have to log to Element on a new device it can be painful, even using the recovery key I’ll get some warnings that my device isn’t verified, than I start the verification on one device and it doesn’t show on the other.
DeltaChat keep the encryption hidden to the user, that’s better. Also automatic password creation.
