A free and open source JabberXMPP client for Android. Easy to use, reliable, battery friendly. With built-in support for images, group chats and e2e encryption. Design principles • Be as beautiful and easy to use as possible without sacrificing security or privacy • Rely on existing, well established protocols • Do not require a Google Account or specifically Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) • Require as little permissions as possible Features • End-to-end encryption with either OMEMO or OpenPGP • Encrypted audio and video calls (DLTS-SRTP) • Sending and receiving images • Intuitive UI that follows Android Design guidelines • Pictures Avatars for your Contacts • Syncs with desktop client • Conferences (with support for bookmarks) • Address book integration • Multiple Accounts unified inbox • Very low impact on battery life Conversations makes it very easy to create an account on the conversations.im server. Using that server comes with an annual fee of 8 Euro after a 6 month trial period. However Conversations will work with any other XMPP server as well. A lot of XMPP servers are run by volunteers and are free of charge. XMPP Features Conversations works with every XMPP server out there. However XMPP is an extensible protocol. These extensions are standardized as well in so called XEP’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 an XMPP server that does or - even better - run your own XMPP server for you and your friends. These XEPs are - as of now: • XEP-0065: SOCKS5 Bytestreams (or mod_proxy65). Will be used to transfer files if both parties are behind a firewall (NAT). • XEP-0163: Personal Eventing Protocol for avatars • XEP-0191: Blocking command lets you blacklist spammers or block contacts without removing them from your roster. • XEP-0198: Stream Management allows XMPP to survive small network outages and changes of the underlying TCP connection. • 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. • XEP-0237: Roster Versioning mainly to save bandwidth on poor mobile connections • XEP-0313: Message Archive Management synchronize message history with the server. Catch up with messages that were sent while Conversations was offline. • 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. • XEP-0363: HTTP File Upload allows you to share files in conferences and with offline contacts. Requires an additional component on your server.

Allows the app to get your approximate location. This location is derived by location services using network location sources such as cell towers and Wi-Fi. These location services must be turned on and available to your device for the app to use them. Apps may use this to determine approximately where you are.
precise location (GPS and network-based)
Allows the app to get your precise location using the Global Positioning System (GPS) or network location sources such as cell towers and Wi-Fi. These location services must be turned on and available to your device for the app to use them. Apps may use this to determine where you are, and may consume additional battery power.

Since some update, OMEMO images are not being displayed in ChatSecure iOS any more, when sent from Conversations. The other way around works fine (ChatSecure to Conversations), so it's not a server issue. Used to work. Not any longer. Please fix this old issue that had been fixed back in 2017 the first time already! XMPP messenger need to have at least a working picture transfer via OMEMO! I don't care if it's on CS' side or Conversation's. Please communicate this bug to the CS devs. Thanks!

Perfect! We use it a lot! If you need an app that has: - (Must)Encrypted chat - (Must)Encrypted file sharing (without "size limitation" if you want) - A/V calls (over TURN too) - No BS (a registered phone number, strict ~10 MB file size limit, centralization, etc) then XMPP and this application what you need. Does it support BOSH Daniel if yes where should i put its address?

Best in its class, works flawlessly on all my devices (I have had issues with other communicators) and moreover it have some unique features.

There's no "missed call" notification. I have to open the app in order to see the "missed call" flag. Please consider adding that feature. Despite of that : The app is pretty good!

So, I could have saved myself money by using the free Legacy app version of this app, which still supports the ever popular and secure Off The Record, rather than pay for an upgrade with reduced features. Fantastic. 🙄 Give users the option to use the app how they see fit, especially when it's down to our security, instead of making decisions for them and crippling usability.

The app is great, first app that I buy ever (been using Android devices for 10 yrs.)! It does everything I need. Unfortunately, there are no notifications for messages in group chats (MUC). Normal notifications work fine. Please, fix notifications for group chats! EDIT: I have entered the group --> menu (three dots) --> Channel details --> Notify on all messages. Now it works 👍 thanks! (changed to 5 stats now 😃)

This is definitely the best XMPP chat client available for Android. That being said I would like the ability to always return to start conversations/contacts panel via a settings option instead of always being forced into that panel after starting any convo. The ability to swipe between the convos/start convos panel would also be a plus. To be honest I find the convo list panel a lil redundant because you can return to the actual conversation via the contact panel which is exactly what I want to be able to do.

Remembered using this app year or two ago and it served the purposes I needed so I didn't think twice about purchasing to support the development.....Then I found I could no longer use OTR and wish I kept the money.

Not so much the app as the developers that are always creating various ways of bringing communications together that enhance the understandings between people so that they can have healthy discussions on a more professional level,this in turn creates a holistic communications base on all levels for one and for all concerned.

After I updated my phone (Pocophone F1) to Android 10, the notification alert is stop and not alerting me anymore. Hopefully you will lookup into this. Once fix, I will change my review back UPDATE : I have reinstalled the app, but now it making more worst! I didn't received the update from xmpp server anymore. I already compared with my colleagues which using same app

You are banned from this group chat. For what? Join the conversation and get banned! And with so few English Rooms on the platform this is a big deal - including support is entirely removed from any new user trying to learn like myself. We can't all be digital nerds you know - many of us are just plain users trying to learn. Send a message on some security issue I got with mail and went to bed and awoke to a ban message. Hey, Thanks so much! - DarkiJah

This client looks very nice. It does however advertise OpenPGP support which it technically has. Problem is that it doesn't work well and the developer refuses to fix it since he doesn't use that feature. The support muc is one of the most toxic places I have seen lately which of course makes communication there less than enjoyable. To sum up: I got this app for free and still want my money back.
Aleksandar Prokopec
2019-09-20T13:10:56.134Z
App is pretty good and open source, which is awesome. It has some space for improvement, but the open encryption protocol, custom servers and open source implementation make this app the choice, if you care about privacy.
Chad Walker
2019-05-11T12:05:12.494Z
This is a very good XMPP client for Android. The big hurdle is figuring out which XMPP server to go with, as not all are created and operated equally. Not the dev's fault though. The dev is very prompt about replying to email as well. I'm happy with the app so far.

2019-09-20T09:28:15.863Z
I've been testing several XMPP client for my private ejabberd server (19.05), conversation is the one that worked straight after installation. Love OMEMO and File upload integration. Unless I mistaken it's just missing a view of the shared roster. Great job 👏

Its a good app to use, but I can't restore from backup, just shows a blank dialog everytime I try, pretty much breaking the whole app for me. hey thanks for the reply sorry about that. the restore works now! everything else about the app is great

2019-02-02T09:25:34.393Z
All is great, but there is no way to set the ringtone for notifications, clicking on the notification settings just takes you to the android notification options for the app, which has no option for defining ringtone. this makes it largely unusable for me (or anyone).

2018-10-16T16:19:41.419Z
Be warned: Apparently, this app will not work with servers that require SSL/TLS. Strange that it did work for a few days, and then either the app updated or the server changed settings, and I am getting "TLS Negotiation Failed" constantly.

How messaging should be! Text exchange and none of the added nonsense that other apps add that results in slowness and other drawbacks. Not to mention tracking and data mining. Minimalist and perfect.

The main system problem is that attachments are not encrypted by design. Useless without this option . Hope I am wrong.Probably I am using incompatible Linux client (Dino). What is your recommendation for Linux?

OTR IS NOT SECURE ANYMORE, FOLKS! USE OMEMO INSTEAD!!!!! OTR was busted several years ago alongside the key-type that it requires, SHA-1, which is now also insecure. Please stop saying you need OTR and switch to something better, like PGP or OMEMO. Your messages WILL be decrypted if you use OTR. Daniel does amazing work as always, and continues to add excellent features to this app.

Great but 1) Stop using the in built camera as it places photos in unencrypted space on the phone. Do what Signal and WhatsApp do and add an in built camera for better isolation of media. 2) Add fingerprint unlock like Telegram and Signal

Hello dear developers. I have few questions about the size of the app. Why the previous update 2.3.3 was around 2-3 MB and this update 2.3.4 over 7 MB? There are no new featutes just a small fix. My android version is the same 8.0. I am curious to know why is that difference? Also when I compile myself the app(free compat debug) with Android Studio on Windows 8, the size of the app is almost three times bigger, about 17 MB. Thank you for the best xmpp app on the market!

Please please please fix this issue, it's so annoying I sometimes forbid notifications for the app, only to find two days later that I missed some interesting messages.

Great app! Just 2 things are missing: 1. Search in conversation 2. Single messages selection and removal&forward

The best I've used so far on Android. I've been using the F-Droid version for about a year and being so happy with it, just purchased the Playstore version.

I just payed for the app, why extra charges??? There is a yearly fee which I want aware of BEFORE paying for the app.

When I purchased Conversations, it still supported OTR. It was pretty much a powerhouse XMPP client compared to other offerings. Sad to say it's not getting much use as OMEMO adoption isn't moving very quickly and OTR support was dropped.

I'd really love to see a feature that allows me more control over when notifications show. For example tie it to a location or wifi network. That way I could set it to only notify for that server when I am at home.

The client itself is good, however it doesn't follow Google Material Design guidelines and looks like a black sheep among other apps. Still lacks some small features like shared media list, search filters, etc.

Privacy is not a political issue. Please return OTR capabilities till omemo is universally accepted.

Definitely a usable Jabber client. It auto-saving my xmpp account's password without an option of needing to re-enter on start or disconnect or whatever is a little too much for me, though.

After using Conversations for more than two years gladly (apart from a few minor UX mistakes and questionable decisions) it now undergoes harsh changes with version 2.0. OMEMO is now enabled by default for _all_ new chats. This, while beeing a good way onboarding, has to be turned off inconviniently for every single chat manually if the user does not want it to be shoved down the throat for whatever reason. This may have easily been an option in "expert settings". Further, OTR support was removed without any public comment, explanation and perceptible rationale. While manual resource naming (as sensible common practice since the inception of Jabber) has _never_ been there, Conversations at least gave the user the ability to choose from a set of predefined and distinguishable resource presets. This, while not ideal, was sufficient. Now, this option has also been cut down without any rationale. These, amongst other changes in earlier versions, e.g. the perky "conversations.im" commercial nagging when adding your Jabber account, reveals the dark path that lies ahead to the walled garden of other mobile messenger failures. One star until sanity is restored.

Absolutely loved this app until OTR got removed in the latest update. A heads up would have been nice as I now have error messages instead of important messages. It's very difficult to convince others to change their encryption standard just because the mobile software I use is now limited.

Seems to work pretty well with my company's server. Some nits: the new acct dialog should have the option for advanced settings, rather than having to know there's a setting to turn on. OMEMO should be an acct-based preference, because sending a msg just hangs if the server doesn't support it. Also, is there a way to see who enters and leaves a conference like pidgin does?

This is a great app! Without it I wouldn't have been able to convince my non-techie family to use our private messaging server. User experience is intuitive and close enough to whatsapp that they knew what to do immediately.

Very simple and feature less chat app. Which is good and at the same time not. Miss a battery friendly AMOLED theme. OTR was a good fallback option to chat with other apps.

Jabber is the best option for secure routine instant messaging (for special privacy needs consider Briar) and Conversations is the best Android option for secure Jabber.

I tried this as xabber disconnects often when exiting or entering wifi. I had to contact the writer as my server was not connecting. A 500 Bind failure was reported. It turned out to be another problem related to encryption being optional on my end. They identified it quickly. Works like a charm now. Very nice layout.

What functionality is there is well done, but author has some peculiar stances on things (presence, discovery, etc.) that make it unsuitable for my uses.

Best XMPP client ever used. I tried every client in the market, except for paid apps. This by far the one that stole my heart. I use it everyday with my family running on my server. And it is running flawlessly. Side note: now that ejabberd supports sip calling, why not make the app uses the phone calling option based on mod_sip and let us worry about configuring turn/stun configuration. It would really help us a lot

Cannot log into account, fails with "Bind Failure" message. The same xmpp account details work on xabber and astrochat, but fail on Conversations. Asking for refund.

An excellent secure messaging app! Users can adjust or change the type of encryption for each chat; even during a conversation. Also has a dark/black theme. Works well!

Jabber texting (xmpp) is THE replacement for legacy texting (that outdated tech enslaving you to a single device with the obscene pricing). Ditch SMS!

There is a distinct lack of help to permit you configuring your existing XMPP accounts on other XMPP servers. Trying to setup correct settings to securely obfurcate the end to end connection is fraught. It worked with ChatSecure on Android 4. But I suspect Google isn't making it easy to use other servers?? Update... Part of the issue maybe using an XMPP server that is enforcing OTR, they may not support OMEMO. Additionally I was trying to run it via a TOR services. That maybe exacerbated it the orbot app isnt taking the traffic from the conversations app. Long story short. I probably should stepwise create a howto unless anyone else has done that?? Also trying to get it configured on an iPad(!)
