    Element became unusable for me when I realized that it takes around 18% of my phone battery per day while being idle in the background without being opened even once. Absolutely insane for a simple chat app.

    Wanted to like neochat and I still use it as I use KDE, but functionality is limited with no VoIP or jitsi, there are always a bunch of visual bug like gigantic icons, or other bugs like content not loading so all you get is a bunch of chat room use profile changed or enter/exits…

    Maybe I should swap to fluffy chat in everything.

      Hopefully that battery usage gets better when they upgrade to what is currently Element X.
