Description by SpiritCroc (from Google Play)
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

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*
★☆☆☆☆ Vukoslav · Jun 28, 2026
Worse than their legacy version which doesn't support SSO logins. This one can't even do verification properly.
★☆☆☆☆ Unknow0059 · Aug 8, 2026
After the latest update it stopped working on my Android 8, period. Trying to open it freezes the system.
★★☆☆☆ Lee Francis Santiago · Aug 12, 2026
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.
