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/
i like it and i think it is very easy to use. Downside is no calling or video calling. But i don’t need that anyway. For me it is a perfect replacement for Whatsapp and the only reason i don’t use only DeltaChat is that most of my friends don’t want to install “yet another app” or insist on the calling function like socially needy weaklings.
Calls are being added at the moment, they are still in beta, but I’ve used them a few times, it works okay.
