Conversations is the only decent XMPP client, and server XEP support is a mess. Its unusable for normal people if you want to use any kind of advanced features.

- Nux 7y agoI concur, tried to adopt it at dayjob when HipChat closed, but it was impossible. Conversations IM client is alright, but we couldn't find a client for IOS that just worked. It's mission impossible. I hope they go for Matrix, like France did, but I get a feeling they'll be hit hard by NIH.
- upofadown 7y agoYeah, iOS XMPP client support does seem to be the issue. Riot gets cross platform support from electron. Perhaps the world needs an electron based XMPP client... One relatively low effort path for a government might be to simply adopt something like Chatsecure and fix it.
- pgeorgi 7y agoI found Monal (monal.im) to be a better maintained iOS client than Chatsecure, very responsive developer, too.
- jcbrand 7y agoIt would be perfectly fine for the Indian gov to fork Conversations and deploy their own XMPP servers, thereby not having to worry about sever XEP support.
