Was scrolling through my forums and came across this discussion on simplex chat, for an request for end to end encrypted offline bluetooth messaging. I thought this was a great feature but the **developer will only consider if people vote. So take a vote! **

    like it or not ios needs to be supported

    I think a messenger app these days should be native to both major mobile OS’s and the three big one’s for computers.

      That’s wishful thinking when some of the platforms just flat out refuse to support necessary features for maintaining p2p connections.

      Complaining to application developers won’t change a thing about that.

      Complain to Apple instead, preferably in the form of not buying their products unless they actually open their devices to third-party software without artificial limitations in the way.

        Having an opinion isn’t complaining to the devs, what an odd thing to project.

        Complain to Apple instead

        Perhaps I could have, but I interact with briar or similar, and my friends - not apple. Let the people who owns an Apple device complain to apple, what incentives would they have to please me as a non-customer anyways?

        preferably in the form of not buying their products

        I haven’t bought an apple product since the first gen iPod nano. After that the nanos wasn’t jailbreakable and I was out. On top of that I always advocate open source android instead of both ios and google android.

        I think they’re on GitLab, and I did years ago lol

        edit: and that they need proper data export/import as well, that’s a real bummer
