I use an iPhone and my fiancé uses Android. He is not very tech savvy. He does not like to text for privacy reasons. I was going to recommend we get Signal but see others in Lemmy talking about Matrix. Is that better? If so, what app is best that works on both our phones? Thanks Lemmy friends!

    I use Matrix with friends and family, we all moved from signal.

    I made accounts for my family members on my homeserver and told them to sign in, so they didn’t have to register (slightly easier on boarding). They all figured it out with minimal hand-holding.

    For my friends and coworkers, I just tell them “make an account on X instance, its a good one”, and they all figured it out.
