So friends and me arguing over if Teleguard encrypts media too or only chats. My take is, everything, as stated on their site: -> Complex encryption system for all transmitted data… (plus it’s swiss based).
Element says this on their site (2.4 Sharing Data in Compliance with Enforcement Requests and Applicable Laws; Enforcement of Our Rights): … Shared information is exclusively limited to what we are technically able to see, which means end-to-end encrypted information is never accessed by our teams or shared externally. (UK-EU based)
So both encrypt media but Element saves them while Teleguard deletes the messages after receiving?
Thank you for the selfhosting aspect of it… worth a dive in.
Aside, by trying to register this shows up:

app.element.io wants to access your account. This will allow app.element.io to:

I would recommend using a native app, rather than a web app. If on Android, you can get Element or Element X from f-droid. Or you can also get third party apps like Fluffy Chat.
