Was scrolling through my forums and came across this discussion on simplex chat, for an request for end to end encrypted offline bluetooth messaging. I thought this was a great feature but the **developer will only consider if people vote. So take a vote! **

That's wishful thinking when some of the platforms just flat out refuse to support necessary features for maintaining p2p connections.

Complaining to application developers won't change a thing about that.

Complain to Apple instead, preferably in the form of not buying their products unless they actually open their devices to third-party software without artificial limitations in the way.

Having an opinion isn't complaining to the devs, what an odd thing to project.

Complain to Apple instead

Perhaps I could have, but I interact with briar or similar, and my friends - not apple. Let the people who owns an Apple device complain to apple, what incentives would they have to please me as a non-customer anyways?

preferably in the form of not buying their products

I haven't bought an apple product since the first gen iPod nano. After that the nanos wasn't jailbreakable and I was out. On top of that I always advocate open source android instead of both ios and google android.
