              I think it’s supported but not turned on by default. At least when I tried conversations recently it was not default in one on ones, and not available at all in group chats.

                  OMEMO can not work with pseudonymous chats and history disabled

                  OMEMO works fine in a private group chat, it’s disabled in public channels as there’s no point doing encryption there (when anyone can join and it’s impossible for verify everyone’s fingerprints).

          Conversations UI can be MUCH improved to compete with the looks of some other common chat apps like messenger and imessage imho.

            Conversations actually follows the Material guidelines from Google. Which puts it in an odd spot in that It looks “too new” for those that want a classic look, and “too old-fashion” for those that want a flashier look.

            For me personally, it doesn’t look horrendous and it works, so I’m happy with it.

          XMPP is very much e2e encrypted by default

          Please do some research and stop perpetuating this myth.

          1. XMPP is not E2E encrypted by default.
          2. Conversations does OMEMO by default.
          3. There isn’t a single other XMPP client out there that does OMEMO by default, not one. They have support for it, but they very much do not enable it by default.
          4. Every time a friend of mine uses a different messenger, I have to remind after getting a load of unencrypted messages to hit the damn padlock icon in their new client.
