@n0btc XMPP by far, the client situation on mobile is just heaps better (on desktop they're about as shitty as each other in different ways)
@js @n0btc What about it didn't click for you?
@allison @n0btc How the entire UI is inconsistent, how random crap can decide to drain my battery within 2h (hello, Google Maps that was running in the background albeit not being used), the lag in the UI, the inconsistent frame pacing in the UI, the way too broad permissions for apps (so many that cannot be disabled at all, others that are only a binary on or off), the fragmentation of the entire ecosystem, the lack of updates for more than 2 or 3 years even on Google phones, etc. I could go on
@js @allison @n0btc I think there's an app overkill on android, there's also a slightly higher potential for viral infection, but this can be offset by running a security focused rom. clearly iPhone is more usable as of a long time ago, but basic things are confusing and convoluted in their recent UX decisions, and android has caught up since 6/7 and now we're at version 10. The security benefits of running a custom rom heavily outweigh the benefits of a "seamless experience" for me and prove more secure than iOS. May I ask, was your phone Samsung or some other big producer? Those phones tend to have very broken experiences.. Was it as much as your iphone? I had the nexus 6p and it was the best phone I've ever touched, that was half the iphone at the time and had a much better camera than iphone does (the colors were much more realistic than on the iphone, much more true to life, and it had a slightly higher sharpness to fully-focused images plus the AI whatever they used to keep the camera in focus worked while I used it)
