I wish. Providers of popular chat apps force you to use their clients only. The little XMPP support that existed is dwindling now.

  Transports, not service provided gateways. I'm successfully using Facebook's Messenger and Hangouts from a single XMPP account right now. AFAIK Telegram and WhatsApp should be super easy too, but I don't use them at all.

    Whatsapp actively bans users it detects using third-party clients, so that's always risky.

    You're talking to people on FB with a XMPP account? or using your facebook credentials to connect? I tried hangouts recently and the lack of message carbons made it pretty unusable.

      Talking to people on FB and Hangouts with single XMPP account on my server, via transports. The Facebook's XMPP gateway has been disabled for a long time already, while Hangouts' one works, but poorly. Plus using gateways still requires you to configure multiple accounts wherever you want to chat. Transports solve that.

        ahh through transports/gateways you run - so you have a facebook account and just registering that. I got excited for a moment thinking there was some unlisted way of messaging someone on facebook via XMPP. What's the transport you're running for fb and hangouts?
