The only downside to Telegram is it is centralized and you just have to trust them with no e2e encryption. E2E encryption is device locked AFAIK. I want Matrix to be as good as Telegram, then I could just completely switch to Matrix only.
Telegram becomes more and more popular too. They now have 800 m active users.
They're going to rewrite Element Android/iOS from scratch and it's looking cool.
Desktop apps are going in great direction, with NeoChat, Fractal and Nheko, I see improvements month by month.
Calls are still only good working on Element Web, hope that would change.
It has Telegram, Matrix, Discord and Android SMS. But I only use Telegram most of the time. And although I found open sourced bridges (backend) I didn't found frontend. I'm not a target user anyway. But the project does have a potential.
