We migrated to Conversations and self-hosted Ejabberd to maintain 100% data sovereignty. Having full control over our private communication servers satisfies strict EU data privacy mandates.
Conversations handles background push notifications brilliantly. Battery consumption on our field engineers' Android devices is virtually unnoticeable, even with active background socket connections.
Integrating OpenPGP in Conversations allows our legal and financial teams to exchange encrypted PDF contracts on mobile. PGP key verification works smoothly alongside standard OMEMO encryption.
Conversations represents what mobile messaging should be. The open-source codebase is fully auditable, giving our privacy-conscious organization complete confidence that no metadata is leaked to third-party ad networks.
