    I’m curious, I’ve never had the chance to really use Signal much, and I’ve never used an XMPP client before. What made you dislike Signal and use XMPP instead? I wish I could convince my iMessage loving mom to jump to anything else.

      I had no issue with signal (except phone number verification) but according to my family members signal uses a lot of ram and battery. Non of them have Google play services. XMPP doesn’t use that much resources and it’s simple, no unnecessary bloat.
