2. Session = 79

3. Signal = 77

4. Element / Matrix = 59

5. WhatsApp = 34

6. Telegram = 29

Its great because no account needed. Just send someone an invite link or have them scan code

That’s pretty nice! Better to have no accounts and no SMS registration. That was one reason I liked session. I’ll give it a try tonight.
