I doubt that’s going to happen. In the medium and long term, I think that Matrix will be the best solution, but its gonna take more time for it to be fully usable. So for now we have to make compromises.
Because the apps of Threema and Telegram are tied to their own services and are unforkable while apps/clients that use XMPP can use federated-like services.
The mobile app seems more focused on group chats than something like whatsapp or telegram, which makes it a bit more complicated to use. Also, sometimes I still get decryption errors so certain messages are unreadable.
that’s a good point. how could one improve that? might someone offer a location for the signal team to move in another country?

To that point I’m not sure why Threema or Telegram aren’t being considered more seriously as they don’t fall in US jurisdiction.

What about delta.chat?
Just out of curiosity, what makes matrix not fully usable at this time?

Session, Status and maybe Spixi are good alternative but they are all too young in my opinion. Session is the best concept, though.
