Same type of thing, though in my experience it's been worse overall. Element has their "Element" app with basically all the features across platforms - or you can use one of the many third-party apps that provide a different experience and generally only implemented some of the features. In XMPP land, they don't have a flagship app. Instead, they just have the hodgepodge of independent developers making different apps for different platforms, who each only implemented some of the features.
Group chats are pretty weird in it no matter which apps you use.

Some people love it. I think it's mid.
Oh damn. I did see a bunch of apps for it. Element has a decent selection. I don't know I just wanna have backup if telegram becomes more unusable.
