yup and it's great! Unfortunately there are not good iphone apps that work with omemo encryption.
It's really lightweight and that's such a great feeling.
Siskin has been working well for some people I know on iPhone.
There used to be some settings you need to tweak, not sure how it is these days:
Monal has also been getting some regular development and is worth trying out.
Misread and thought you were askin about android so comment is edited .
Fdroid has Iphone stuff now?
What ?
Them:
You:
Me:
They say there's no good apps for iPhone with OMEMO support, you say try fdroid, I question when fdroid added iPhone apps. It's all very straight forward, I can't explain it any better than this.
Have you looked at https://siskin.im ?
I use android I was just wondering when iPhones started letting people sideload. Recently heard they're making them usbc so I figured maybe it was new.
Shit i misread so i edited my comment
Oh lol I was like "damn I didn't think iPhones can sideload, is this some European shit?"
No its just "not paying attention and half reading before commenting shit"
Lol we've all been there!
That’s the Apple price you pay tho. It’s not a popular platform for FOSS or otherwise ethical software since you have to use their overpriced hardware to develop on & there are fees to publish apps (even with EU opening up alt stores, many won’t see it as legitimate for a long time--difficult enough with F-Droid eco). Have you considered upgrading to a Linux or Android phone? (/s, but kinda not)
