Description

SchildiChat Next is a client for the matrix protocol, based on the Element X app.
Similarly to Element X, this SchildiChat Android rewrite should still be considered beta, as it lacks some functionality which one might expect from a fully-featured chat app, compared to the old SchildiChat implementation.

The matrix protocol is a decentralized approach to modern messaging, allowing you to select a server provider of your choice (or even self-host your own server), enabling you to communicate with end-to-end encryption, shared message history across multiple devices, and more.

SchildiChat is open source: https://github.com/SchildiChat/schildichat-android-next
More information about the Matrix protocol: https://matrix.org/

Recent changes:
- Update codebase to Element X v26.06.2
- Handle matrix URIs in formatted messages
- Bigger font for messages containing only custom emotes (same as for emoji-only messages)
- Fix rendering inline image fallbacks in notifications, room list and replies

Comments on SchildiChat Next for Android

★★★★★ Alex Mullis · May 16, 2024

Great so far! I understand it is still in development, but this is a really good start. I'd like to see more updates to incorporate differentiating different chat networks like Beeper does, so I can use this with my Beeper account easier. Right now it works, but I know it could be better.

★★★★★ Dávid Zsigmond · Mar 16, 2025

Very good matrix client, seems more polished than element x

★★★★☆ Sollace · Nov 25, 2025

This feels like a massive improvement over the old SchildiChat. My only gripe is I cannot turn off chat bubbles.

★★★★☆ Mike B · May 16, 2026

Better than elementx in so many ways BUT thread handling is broken as far as I can see. Can't create new threads at all, and it doesn't consolidate threads created elsewhere into a single block. Hopefully this is fixed soon, and then it gets 5*
