I tried SimpleX but the VPN kill switch on my phone prevents syncing with my computer.
I use telegram primarily as a note taking app with sync features.
Occasionally I send files to friends, so having easy set up for tech illiterate would be great.

joplin and all the others who want to run yet another web browser in parralel on your resource constrained phone.

about whatsapp: used it for years. it’s not any better. the only part in which it could be is encryption, but only if
- you trust how that black box handles encryption, and your messages before and after it
- you trust that it’ll not datamine the shit out of whatever it has access to on your phone
- you are fine with the yearly remote code execution vulnerabilities it has through calls and such you didnt even notice, let alone accept
