    I use matrix weekly with about 3 different (all verified) clients and every single one of my encrypted group chats has had this issue.

    Perhaps it has gotten better, but every once in a while some messages simply won’t decrypt, and it’s hard to determine why.

    I checked just now and I can’t see one user’s messages sent in the last 48hrs (other users can, and I used to see them too). I haven’t signed out of any sessions and AFAIK they are verified.

    Don’t get me wrong, I like Matrix. I host my own server. I think it has the most potential to become an industry standard, but it’s still a rough ecosystem for the non-technical.

      Out of curiosity, which client and OS sent the messages in question, and which client and OS says it can’t decrypt them?

      I’ve seen that behavior in the past, but like I said, it has been more than a few months. It’s possible that at least one end of your conversation is using a client that hasn’t received the recent-ish fixes. It might be helpful if we could identify it.
