Reply to comment by vandemic in Is Riot safe(r) ? by vandemic

After setting up the encryption, it remains as the default from that point forward and cannot be turned off. Riot does store information, it asked for elevated storing permission on the webapp and surely the app does as well. However, you can look for another matrix client that does not.

I'm unsure about iOS, but you can download riot from f-droid without requiring a phone number or be associated with an account.

Here's the list of supported matrix clients, there's also a feature comparison list on the same page.
