Element.io

Are there many here who use a Matrix client like Element? [1] Or one of the dozens of compatible chat apps? [2]<p>Why don't more people use it? I can't understand why people would jump from one closed source silo like WhatsApp to another closed source Silo like Telegram or Signal.<p>The UX of Element is terrific now.<p>[1]: <a href="https://element.io/" rel="nofollow">https://element.io/</a>.

Telegram Desktop

It depends on which desktop client you're using.<p>Telegram's native Mac app (<a href="https://macos.telegram.org/" rel="nofollow">https://macos.telegram.org/</a>) supports E2E-encrypted secret chats. Their cross platform Qt-based app (<a href="https://desktop.telegram.org/" rel="nofollow">https://desktop.telegram.org/</a>) does not support this feature.<p>Notably, the experience in a Telegram secret chat behaves differently then regular chats. A secret chat is tied to one device; you can't start a secret chat on your phone and pick it up on your tablet/desktop. There's also no server-side message history. Regular (non-secret) chats don't have these limitations.
