How do you feel about registering in XMPP by phone number? - eviltoast

Recently, the Prav app was released in F-droid. In this application, registration is by phone number.

What do you think about this?

    Let ask few questions:

    Will the app UI change?

    Is there anything you can do to prevent the “This app tracks and reports your activity” warning in F-droid?

    And the question related to the SMS processing center. Is the service located in India?

      1. We already include some patches from cheogram to support message moderation and we are waiting for conversations v3 redesign (we hope to include that too). We are planning some more changes like allowing custom username instead of phone number.
      2. @aryak says that will be soon changed to tethered to a single service warning.
      3. Currently we are using twilio, which is not based in India and we are considering options based in India (which is cheaper).
