This is one of the primary benefits of a messaging client that uses Matrix [1], if one app becomes undesirable there are dozens of compatible apps! [2]

I highly recommend giving Element [3] a try - it's polished and easy for non technical people to use, end-to-end encrypted and OSS.

I like and use Element, but the crypto workflow is way too complicated for non technical users and the UX is nowhere near what's app or Telegram.

I have more hope for other clients like Fluffychat.
