> XMPP is reliable, the server can mandate client-server encryption, and has some client-side features including simultaneous appearances (being one person logged in through several devices) and better one-to-one chat than IRC. File-sharing is an optional add-on. There is no good iOS client that I know of; mobile clients tend to be bad at requesting history.

ChatSecure works on iOS and has history fetching features (MAM), for Android there is Conversations.im, IMHO the best XMPP client to date.
