Since DeltaChat was not mentioned in the comments it looks like, I'll write about it because I believe it has some interesting pros and it deserves imho more exposure to anyone reading this and didn't know about it yet. Also available on F-Droid. delta.chat/en/ And a soft-fork by iirc one of the DeltaChat developers is also available on F-Droid called ArcaneChat. #deltachat @delta

Differences between the two are listed here : f-droid.org/en/packages/chat.d…
Main differences with official Delta Chat client:
Support for some markdown styles in text messages (bold, italic, strike, etc.)
Support for displaying Telegram's animated stickers (.tgs files)
Support for SVG images previews
Multiple color themes/skins
(And more diff. on that page.)

btw, I am also in the process of publishing #ArcaneChat in Google Play, and setup a website for it at arcanechat.me

(for the people that don't have #fdroid since otherwise it also increases the obstacles in migrating, and ofc it is fully compatible with #DeltaChat so it is fine if some people use Delta Chat and others ArcaneChat
