Also interesting is this one.

Use a locally hosted XMPP with the Conversations client :)

    Which is exactly why XMPP is the much better option for them once it is set up. Much less can go wrong and shit just works. Proven for nearly 20 years now. Yes, they will probably need some advise setting it up, but this is true for pretty much anything other than WhatsApp as well.

    XMPP also works great on desktop computers with really old hardware… something that a lot of grandparents will surely appreciate.
