AstraChat - Direct XMPP & VOIP

I can’t even connect to an add account. Useless app. Using IPad Pro bought in July 2023, attempted to use app on March 18th 2024. Please fix!

Sent a picture to one of my contacts. Instead of it going to the person, AstaChat uploaded it to their servers! 🤯😡 It didn’t ask me first. All it says is “Your friend sent an image via AstraChat. Download (the app) at (our website) to see the image.” WHAT A MASSIVE PRIVACY VIOLATION.

I have my own xmpp server prosody running on a pi3. Desktop clients connect fine using pidgin. And this program used to work. Then there was an update, and all attempts to connect fail so I tried deleting and re-creating the ID on this app no luck. I tried uninstalling the app entirely and reinstalling it still no luck. Attempt to connect sit there for so many seconds and then fail. No useful error message nothing in the XMPP server log. If I put in an invalid login and password, it fails immediately so there is a communication attempt which is successful to the point where it fails. They’ve obviously changed something beyond just updating it for the new iOS. If you can get it to work it’s a fine chat program. Good luck.

Need more updates to the app don’t have an option to join groups but if you add the same existing group you’ll join it iPhones are not notified of incoming messages unless they are running the app not sure why but other apps I’ve tried have the same issue but what’s the point really androids don’t have this problem but I’ll continue to use this app because I do like it it’s the only universal app across platforms and for that I’m grateful I only use it for my self hosted server I also love the p2p voip feature

Not full screen now

Stopped working after IOS update 14,3 Fix please

How do I sign in ?

So we have our own xmpp server with conferences/group chats. I can’t get AstraChat to list the existing conferences. When I add a conference, I see the “conference.<our server>” but it seems to only allow for creating more conferences instead of allowing entrance into an existing conference. We also use a desktop xmpp client (Spark) and I have no problem with that client. Hence the lower railing. I’ve checked the FAQ and did not see anything about connecting to a conference/group chat you did not creat.

Group chat created by iOS client doesn’t show up on other devices, whether it is iOS or Android. Group chat created by Android client shows up on other devices. Also unable to change password by client. Otherwise seems to work well

Omemo support isn’t working. App only sends pics to other astrachat users. No multi account support. Unimpressed. It’s almost 2019... where are our decent xmpp options?
