While being "techy" I too restrict Conversations from running in background. Moreover, it's annoying and dangerous to keep XMPP running (reconnecting, giving out your metadata) while roaming over different networks, so I'm killing it myself. But, aside from tremendously, ridiculously bad UI concept, I find Conversations to be one of the most reliable OMEMO-enables jabber clients for Android.

What metadata do you believe it is giving out?.. And how it could possibly even be comparable to what an android espionage device gives out by itself in the first place
