Which app would qualify in your case? Signal suffers from the same client-side problem.

Matrix also provides the ability to back up keys in the server, but you select a separate passphrase for encrypting them before they're uploaded.

(Yes, it would be nice if the user didn't need two passphrases for this use, but Matrix cannot safely revert to key derivation because client could accidentally leak the master password to the server due to existing implementations.)

Don't know why you got downvoted, it's a very good question.

I've been using matrix. It's e2ee and multiple client sessions seem to be working just fine, they all sync without problems.

not by default, which is a massive difference.

I am not sure what the answer is here. What you are arguing for will hurt regular users who will lose their digital lives if they lose their passwords.

Signal will be backed-up on iCloud _by default_ and client side will be an issue.
