I was looking at matrix today and like what I read. I also saw there is a bridge for other platforms like e.g. whatsapp. But I failed to understand how that works. Can I send and receive messages to whatsapp users with element or is this not possible (yet)?
I was investigating the same for sms. The bridges cab be found here https://matrix.org/ecosystem/bridges/
Looks like you need admin perms for some of them
Another thing I learned is that there are numerous matrix clients, but all will use your same matrix login. So if you switch chat apps, you just log out of that one and log into another.
Some examples are
And the main one, Element
I think most bridges are designed for Element, but I'm not 100%
@depressed_submissive @PuaNani it's possible. The homeserver translates whatsapp to matrix and vice versa
