Google have suspended Element in the Play Store without notifying us; we’re reaching out to find out what’s going on. Apologies for the inconvenience; in the interim there’s https://f-droid.org/en/packages/im.vector.app/ but it’s a few versions behind. We’ll post updates here.
Voice/Video calls via Element are shit, anyway. You can just use Jitsi for that one which is basically the same, but in a separate app.
Yes, that’s right. But it’s great that there’s a possibility to have different clients. Element is getting better day by day and if you need its features, there’s nothing wrong with using it. It’s pretty good software, it just doesn’t fit my use case of simple mobile communication.
Yeah, I was just saying is not 1:1 features alternative. A pretty good one for just for text chatting though. And I’m still hoping other alternatives catch up in terms of features. I’d like a Qt alternative on the desktop, and also an android alternative from the community, and not element.io…
