Get a better app. Well, OK. >> Calls are not backward compatible > woah I thought single spec with no extensions fixed these problems forever ? 😁 this is all on Element Ltd effectively abandoning the old app while the new one isn't mature ↺

slow notif is a bummer tho. I'm glad xmpp does it by itself

and about sorting chats... thats a mess too

btw, is there any way I can get synced read state for all clients in xmpp? I think it only currently work if they're both online

Yes https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0490.pdf

ah so it works on PEP, per-chat and per-stanza-id. Looks cool, thanks
