I don’t use apps like whatsapp or skype because they sell my data and don’t trust them.

I was hoping for a foss alternative to talk to my parents, regular folk who need something easy to set up on their android devices, ideally through fdroid.

I don’t want to reveal a real phone number because I don’t want ads from nobody.

I don’t need to see my parent’s faces, I just need to talk to them and maybe send files and lines of text.

    Briar isn’t really comfortable for every day use, it’s way too basic. And I’m comparing it to Conversations, not something rich like Telegram.

    Examples? No photos in the group chat. No copying mesaages to clipboard in the desktop version.
