MODERATORS
"Chat app" like texting/whatsapp?
Or "chat app" like Discord/Slack?
For the former, Signal is going to be the one your friends and family will actually use. For the latter there isn't anything really approaching the same level yet. Matrix/Element is making a good effort but absolutely not there yet, especially on mobile.
