I can download element from f droid or Google Play. Which one should I download from?

Pros and cons of each?

• Google play has auto update, whereas f droid has semi automatic updates where it takes more effort.

• The Google play flavor comes with support for FCM (i.e. push notifications via Google infrastructure). The f-droid flavor relies on regular polling for events (so that messages might come in a little bit later, though I am not sure whether it can keep a connection open for real time push notifications).
