By design, these will be the most private and intimate conversations, and server will be able to decrypt it. Combine this with lock-in and venture capital, this makes me quite uncomfortable.

I believe a handful of developers could make an equivalent version with much better guarantee of privacy. I've been meaning to pick up Flutter development, so getting started here. Other privacy-conscious hackers are welcome to join: https://github.com/nileshtrivedi/family

This looks really great. I don't have an iPhone, but when they launch on the web I will check it out!

update: Although a little turned off by the idea of "automatic updates thought the day".
