Signal is probably your best bet but it's only mostly open source. Element/Matrix is another good option if open source is your concern.

Element can be a bit unreliable when it comes to matrix features, I recommend cinny instead

how so? Im looking for a matrix client thst has easy onboarding for family & friends with encrypted calls and encrypted messaging by default

I don't actually remember too well, there were some ui bugs that I remember but I haven't used element in a year at least so I've kind of forgotten

I'm using element and element x for over a year and it's annoying that threads just won't work on element x.
