I am looking for simplex replacement unless the feature has veen improved.

I moved my contacts there and only to experience challenges:

1. battery taxing

2. Could not receive call unless the app is always on which causes 1.

My experience is clunky and since then I am back to using Signal. Whilst it has its flaws, it does not stop me contacting people nor receiving calls.

I am keeping an eye of the new or improve features. I do love the group chat and no-kyc of the simplex. we can watch the space 👌

When notifications are set to always on instead of while app is active yes it is draining. & if notifications aren't always on then yes you won't receive calls while the app isn't active. Chat relays should be coming out in december or january to improve that part. I can contact whoever but do they have the app open or notifications always on?

In the mean time if I really wana video chat I use a jitsi instance.

my contacts struggle with that. I had to do a crash crouse with them but opted to deactivate it due to battery usage.

never heard of jitsi. what is it?

I also heard of matrix but have't look it up either.
