Tails shouldn't affect matrix messaging other than the session always being temporary/amnesic (which I would find tedious).

Given Tails doesn't come with a matrix messenger either use a matrix client in the browser (eg. element web) or install a matrix client (instructions for installing additional software on Tails).
I've not used persistent storage but perhaps it can be used for remembering matrix sessions (?).

If you are okay with other messengers, Tails includes the Pidgin messenger which can connect to XMPP and use OTR encryption. Tails also includes OnionShare which can also be used for messaging over Tor (I don't know whether the included version supports that).

yes the messaging is not effected. but something with the sessions and e2e is not working. i tried element web (tails) to element (installed on a smartphone or desktop) and this works somehow, also with e2e. but element web (tails) to element web (tails) just works if both are online. does someone has a idea how to safe the session in the persistent?
