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 v26.07.1 - Render tables in formatted messages - Enable "Fully expand message menu" setting by default

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.

Very good matrix client, seems more polished than element x

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*

Worse than their legacy version which doesn't support SSO logins. This one can't even do verification properly.

After the latest update it stopped working on my Android 8, period. Trying to open it freezes the system.

App looks fine, but the notifications aren't working as they should be. Me and my friend are trying this app, but I cannot get a notif when they sent a message. Please look into this as me and my friend want to give this app a go.
