FOSS Matrix client Cinny has been updated to version 4.0. This update has added support for changing your recovery password, added the option to float rooms with unread messages to the top of the room list, added a Lobby feature to manage space rooms, fixed 21 bugs, and more. In case you haven't heard of Matrix it's a more privacy and security friendly alternative to SMS. The code is licensed using AGPLv3.0. Cinny is available on Flatpak; the AUR; Github; and there is even an unofficial port for Ubuntu Touch. I've used it on my Pinephone using PostmarketOS as well as the Ubuntu Touch port on my Pixel 2 and enjoyed both.
