Android: https://conversations.im/ There are alternatives to all of these depending on your preferences. But these offer a good experience to get started.

AFAIK Conversations is one of the best, if not the best. On F-Droid it’s gratis, on Google Play it costs something.

Conversations [1] is the best Android XMPP client I know. IIRC they pushed the adoption of OMEMO and implemented it first, before the desktop clients could catch up. [1] https://conversations.im/.

Maybe have a look at Briar or good old Jabber (XMPP) with OTR or OMEMO, e.g. Implemented in Conversations.

I never give out my true cell phone number to anyone. In cases where I absolutely have to use SMS, I use Conversations with jmp.chat to send SMS over XMPP from an alternate number.

By definition there’s no “default” app because no single entity controls the whole ecosystem nor has the authority to declare that one is above another 🙂 That aside, there is an official compliance suite, though, that at least one (often more) apps per major platform passes. Then it depends on your use-case. If you want something “mobile-first” that’d be a signal alternative, Conversations.im/Quicksy.im on…

I used Pidgin back in the day of AIM and ICQ, but nowadays, for XMPP, there’s Dino and Gajim for desktop and Conversations.im for Android. As far as I know, OTR has been superseded or replaced by OMEMO in most clients.

Regarding audits, they happen regularly in the XMPP ecosystem, and if you are looking for e.g. a mobile client which has a good track record, I would suggest to look-up https://conversations.im/ (or https://quicksy.im/ since you are okay with contact discovery using mobile phone numbers), and perhaps https://siskin.im/ as an iOS equivalent.

If you are really set on a LAN-only setup you could look at Prosody (combined with an Android app such as Conversations) which Snikket is based upon. It’s not as “ready to go, out of the box” as Snikket and therefore requires a slightly higher skill level, but in exchange it is a lot more customizable and adaptable to different kinds of deployment scenarios.

I’ve used https://conversations.im for a while and been relatively happy with the service. They recently made it free too unless you want to use a custom domain.

No idea why people here think that XMPP doesn’t have modern clients. conversations.im and dino.im are the ones I use and they’re modern and simple for even normal humans to use (Gajim has also been doing some work lately on a more modern interface), have E2EE built in – they also recently gained the ability to do video conferences between each other. The only thing I have lacking in the XMPP world is a good iOS…

You can try XMPP/Jabber: Check out Snikket on both Android and iOS if you want to set up your own server, or use Conversations on Android and Siskin on iOS to connect to any existing public XMPP server.

Hi, I was just wondering something about the App Store. Is there a replacement forConversations on the App Store?

On the desktop I use the gajim XMPP client. On my phones I use Conversations and Blabber (the latter is a fork of Conversations), and all messages between clients are encrypted with OMEMO.

For Android there is basically one choice everyone will recommend: Conversations. There are several forks of it, and a few other alternatives.
