I am on the Matrix system using Element for my desktop UI. I  
can't use it on the phone 'cuz my Blackberry (Android 4.3 max)  
won't support it.

I don't know what a Matrix-Synapse system is.

But Briar operates very nicely on the phone. It does NOT do  
sticker stuff/craft, but it does support a modest handful of  
emojis if desired.

I believe that Briar is *only* available as a smartphone app.
