Which is your preferred messaging app? I just want some insights about these two.

You may share other messaging apps too.

Matrix is just far too convoluted. Signal seems to be the easiest one to use. SimpleX is the best.

I have constant encryption errors that I can never figure out how to fix it. And I always have issues signing in on a new device. I don't even know why.
