I wonder how it'll compare to Matrix.

I think it's intended to be more like WhatsApp, in the sense that you use it for one-on-one chats or messaging small friend groups. I don't think it's a current goal to try to take on Matrix / Element.

Those are exactly what I use Matrix for.

I think it is to just replicate Instagram DMs.
