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.
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)
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!
