- group chats are shit

- message formatting is a mess

- device management is absent

- iOS apps can't really work with stock xeps

And the list is long, these are just the top problems. Luckily, this will likely change soon.

Please elaborate.

Group chats, nicely working and with fallback for legacy clients. They are usable (without all features, of course) in Gajim/etc without doing anything:

iOS client: https://xmpp.redsolution.com/upload/4bddf4f264f5c6577f16551f...

Message formatting (from web client, but is supported by all, actually): https://xmpp.redsolution.com/upload/4bddf4f264f5c6577f16551f...

Device management. Newly connected device is given a token, with a mechanism to prevent token duplication, and tokens can be revoked, resulting in device disconnection:

This all is a work in progress, and we're aiming for an iOS version release in december or early next year.
