I can help test the app if you're willing to share the APK.

Media handling will come, so far those are just files in a folder, so one can purge on timestamp if that is wanted. But I guess we will provide some better controls over time.
To share some issues I ran into in Matrix. Last time I tried deleting media to save on space, it corrupted the rooms and I had to wipe the entire app. Luckily, I had exported the rooms via HTML/JSON beforehand. I used the Matrix admin tool btw. I didn't manually delete things. But, manual deletion of a room's media folder (assuming each room has its own folder) would be ideal. For instance, for DM rooms between users, we share a lot of media between each other but it serves its purpose once seen. Yet, that accounted for a huge percentage of the app's media storage.

Those make a lot of sense when you don't trust your coordinating server of course
This will limit the app location to on-premise servers, really. I wouldn't trust a VPS provider with my chats.
