Need something achievable for an extremely tech illiterate person on iOS. I got told about this after they are already gone and have no access to the device, but am asked to solve the problem.

EDIT: (SOLVED) Signal was super easy, works awesome, and was easy even for my mom to figure out on her own. Thanks

I think you might have misunderstood something along the way. You don’t need to use Chrome to use Element. Element is a client for the Matrix federated chat protocol. It exists as a web app (that works just fine with Firefox), an iOS app, and an Android app (that’s available in F-Droid). You can also use any other Matrix client you want.

And if you want to use the same account, the only thing you won’t have access to is your past encrypted messages.

I only needed chrome for installing GrapheneOS. They integrate the install into the chrome browser. Sorry if the was not clear. This is how I first encountered Matix. Graphene embeds a matrix client in to installation web page, so if a new user needs help with installation, all they need to do is use matrix. This is how and why I created a matrix account.
