@homer77 @Billie To my knowledge, chatsecure works already with OMEMO. Although its certainly not as ripe as Conversations. Is Zom better? I thought the share a lot of code?

I think on iOS both and are pretty much the same. Zom focuses on easy use, though.

On android, chatsecure is not maintained any more as far as I know.

@homer77 After reviewing this, I am not sure this is an "anti-feature"; the page does not clearly state what this means.

"tracking issue" maybe simply means that this auto-generated (!!!) page is not able to sufficiently track the implementation progress of in automatically ???

Have a look here:
conversations.im/omemo/audit.p

Their encryption has been audited πŸ˜ƒ
