I'm looking for something to share images and videos between small family group. We use mix of android and apple. Text messages are terrible for images and videos.

We were using telegram, now I want to see what lemmy has to offer. Thank you in advance.

I've been using Delta Chat for the last few weeks, its very similar to WhatsApp, but decentralised... Works very well, available on android & ios, definitely worth a look, as it could be good for your use case..

    Don't you need to use your phone number to sign up?

    No phone number required for DeltaChat.

    It packetises and encrypts chats, using email(SMTP) as the transport medium. Can send downsampled pics, videos or Push-to-talk audio. Can send full quality pics, videos, or attachments too.

    It's on F-Droid, and you can use a seperate free email address(100MB limit) for the SMTP backend (from https://nine.testrun.org/ ), or use your own existing email address.

    Elegant and robust.
