XMPP never got its story together for mobile clients. Sure there are some configurations of XEPs that will eventually allow you a reasonable configuration that supports multi device, history, media, etc, but for whatever reason, gluing those pieces together into something sane has evaded our community.

Actually this is exactly what Snikket is doing: https://snikket.org/about/goals https://snikket.org/about/goals But in fact most servers are mobile friendly, and have been for many years. You can dig into the data at https://compliance.conversations.im/ https://compliance.conversations.im/ (Conversations being the leading mobile XMPP client).

Rumour has it that XMPP is a lot more popular in parts of the world where Apple stuff is less popular. Those tens of thousands of XMPP servers are probably in those parts of the world. There is an active project working to improve things on the Apple side: * https://monal.im/ https://monal.im/
