Should I use Matrix for Messaging?

Zerlyna@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 66 points –

I use an iPhone and my fiancé uses Android. He is not very tech savvy. He does not like to text for privacy reasons. I was going to recommend we get Signal but see others in Lemmy talking about Matrix. Is that better? If so, what app is best that works on both our phones? Thanks Lemmy friends!

Go with signal, it's the right tool for your job. Matrix has its merits, but is less intuitive, less streamlined, and less polished then signal. For many use case these wouldn't matter, but for you they do.

Signal is so easy, my grandparents are on it. They can't attach a file on an email, but they can use signal.
