However XMPP is an extensible protocol. These extensions are standardized as well in so called XEPā€™s. Conversations supports a couple of those to make the overall user experience better. There is a chance that your current XMPP server does not support these extensions. Therefore to get the most out of Conversations you should consider either switching to anXMPP server that does or - even better - run your own XMPP server for you and your friends.These XEPs are - as of now:ā€¢ XEP-0065: SOCKS5 Bytestreams (or mod_proxy65). Will be used to transfer files if both parties are behind a firewall (NAT).ā€¢ XEP-0163: Personal Eventing Protocol for avatarsā€¢ XEP-0191: Blocking command lets you blacklist spammers or block contacts without removing them from your roster.ā€¢ XEP-0198: Stream Management allows XMPP to survive small network outages and changes of the underlying TCP connection.ā€¢ XEP-0280: Message Carbons which automatically syncs the messages you send to your desktop client and thus allows you to switch seamlessly from your mobile client to your desktop client and back within one conversation.ā€¢ XEP-0237: Roster Versioning mainly to save bandwidth on poor mobile connectionsā€¢ XEP-0313: Message Archive Management synchronize message history with the server. Catch up with messages that were sent while Conversations was offline.ā€¢ XEP-0352: Client State Indication lets the server know whether or not Conversations is in the background. Allows the server to save bandwidth by withholding unimportant packages.ā€¢ XEP-0363: HTTP File Upload allows you to share files in conferences and with offline contacts. Requires an additional component on your server.Ā· Security: Stop downloading files that exceed advertised file sizeĀ· Security: Limit POSH files to 10K

Thank you for this app. It if easy to find xmpp client, but hard to find xmpp client that supports audio/video calls so well as conversations. If you may add custom color themes, or possibility to add picture as chat background it would be amazing. :)

Not sure why anyone could find this useful...guess I'm behind the times.

Have been using the FDroid version for a while now. Bought here as a token of support. Great work.

Best xmpp app ever!

  • ★★★★★   Bill VanKuren 2 years ago

Getting double messages quite often. Perhaps on the server end, but it never happened with my other xmpp apps, also it hangs when sending images, then they never deliver. Nice interface, fast response and I assume that my problems might be on my server end. I love the app, and if I can't iron out the problems I might change my review.
