    Does xmpp have as good of looking apps for android/ios?

    I have xmpp accounts for jmp.chat and have been underwhelmed with the UX of cheogram for android.

    Ideally, I’d like a low friction and good looking ios client to have IRL friends install to chat to me on as well.

      Good olde Conversations for Android, as well as Monocles. Can’t speak for ios, I am not paid enough to touch that dev crap (literally – they expect you to pay to even touch their dev crap).

        Isn’t monocles a fork of cheogram which is a fork of conversations 😅

      I find Cheogram and Monocles to be good looking and featureful clients, so not sure what exactly you mean. They are certainly not any worse than WhatsApp, Threema or Signal in that regard.

      On iOS I agree though… Monal is not bad per se, but it needs some work on the UI side of things.
