We are raising funds to build Prav iOS app based on Quicksy. This can can take a while to complete, so in this post, we list XMPP apps currently available on iOS according to their features.

These are the features we consider essential:

  • End-to-end encryption using OMEMO by default.
  • Support background notifications.
  • Ability for audio/video calls.
  • Users can sign up within the app.
  • Blocking accounts you don’t want to chat with.
  • Admins should have ability to delete messages in groups.

Quicksy is our top choice for iOS due to its easy onboarding process and presence of all the essential features mentioned above.

Monal

Monal has all the essential features listed above. So, we recommend you use Monal for XMPP in iOS if you are not comfortable with sharing your phone number with a service.
