The Element Matrix client on Android uses a whopping 860MB of RAM on my device, and I'm only in a handful of channels.
I really like this client, but that's an immediate uninstall 😟
@fribbledom Sounds like something weird is going on. My account is in like ~200 chats due to bridging, and I am also in quite a few very large Matrix channels, but Element Android uses only like ~400MB max. And that's not even "real" memory usage, because the process is not even really running, only kept around by Android because I have spare RAM.
@PeterCxy @fribbledom I think some heavy media files are the culprit, which it has to keep cached not to decrypt them every time. According to dev menu, Element uses 1,7 Gb on my phone, I do not have a lot of chats, but I do like to paste screenshots into chats with Firefox on desktop and it pastes them as PNGs. Also not an issue for me as I have a lot of free RAM.
