Did I interpret correctly that I’ll soon be able to install a multi-protocol IM app on my iPhone without going through the App Store ? I can barely believe it.

I can barely believe it. It looks monumental in terms of competition potential.
- robertlagrant 5y agoThe primary feature will be end to end decryption.
- slaymaker1907 5y agoYep, because we have absolutely no way to do e2e encryption without closed protocols like GPG.
- Spivak 5y agoOkay sure but how do you reckon Signal to Messenger is gonna work? Not gonna be E2E that’s for sure. It’s gonna be “this chat will be unencrypted because one or more parties doesn’t support E2E.”
- toyg 5y agoThe "soon" has to be interpreted in a political context, so we're likely talking a few years. FAANG will put their lobbyists on overdrive to get extensions to whichever cut-off date is approved.
