Description
ChatSecure is a free and open source messaging app that features OTR and OMEMO encryption over XMPP. You can create new accounts on public XMPP servers, or even connect to your own server for extra security.
Unlike other apps that keep you stuck in their walled garden, ChatSecure is fully interoperable with other clients that support OTR, OMEMO and XMPP.
ChatSecure only uses well-known open source cryptographic libraries to keep your conversations private. Other apps may make claims about 'military grade' security but, without publicly auditable source code and verifiable end-to-end encryption, you cannot be truly safe.
* XMPP with TLS certificate pinning.
* OTR for verifiable end-to-end encryption and forward secrecy.
* OMEMO for a mobile-friendly alternative to OTR.
* SQLCipher to locally encrypt conversation logs.
* Free and Open Source: https://github.com/chatsecure/chatsecure-ios

4.1.0
2017-06-30
# What's new in 4.1.0
* XEP-0363: HTTP Upload support for much faster and reliable media messaging. [1]
* XEP-0352: Client State Indication. Helps reduce network usage when running in the background.
* End-to-end encryption for file transfers in OMEMO or OTR sessions [2].
* Inline media previews for incoming URLs. (Optional)
* Bug fixes and refactoring.
* Tor 0.3.0.9
# Caveats
* Your server administrator must enable support for XEP-0363. See mod_http_upload for Prosody [3] and ejabberd [4] for more details.
* Encrypted file transfer is required in OMEMO/OTR, but has limited compatibility for receiving clients. Users on the other end will receive `aesgcm://` links [2].
* Inline media previews are enabled by default, but can be disabled on a per-account basis. This feature should be disabled if you have extreme privacy concerns or do not trust your contacts. This setting is always disabled for Tor accounts.

4.0.9
2017-05-20
What's new in v4.0.9:
* **NEW**: Now you can support continued development via in-app purchase. Help make developing free and open source privacy tools sustainable!
* Partial fix for bug where keyboard covers chat area
What's new in v4.0.8:
* DuckDuckGo is shutting down their server in early May! If your account ends in `@dukgo.com` you need to migrate to a new server ASAP!
* **NEW**: Account migration tool. Automatically create new account, move existing contacts, archive old conversations, and optionally notify old contacts of new account info.
* **NEW**: Inbox / Archive. In addition to swipe-to-delete, there is now swipe-to-archive, which allows decluttering the inbox without deleting conversation history.
* Fix a nasty bug introduced in 4.0.7 that could prevent OMEMO sessions from working. If your outgoing OMEMO messages were no longer getting delivery receipts, send some messages back and forth and it should fix the issue. When you receive an undecipherable message it will clear the session, which allows the session to be re-initiated on your next outgoing message.
* Improve discoverability of group chat by replacing icon with "Group Chat"
* Join existing group chats
* Show icons to indicate media in conversation list message preview, and show warning if message had an error.
* Disable deadlock detector because it was causing crashes on slower devices
* Now available in France!
What's new in v4.0.7:
* Fix issue receiving short OMEMO messages from users of the Conversations app
* Partially fix issue where invalid OMEMO bundles are published
* Deadlock detector: If the app is frozen, please wait ~20 seconds for it to crash, then relaunch and submit a crash report.
* Remove Dukgo from server list because their server will be shutting down soon. See https://twitter.com/cfarivar/status/852193164207063040
* Add additional public community servers to list. Full list here: https://github.com/ChatSecure/xmpp-server-list
* home.zom.im is now the default server for new account registrations
* Adding/removing contacts while temporarily disconnected is more reliable
* Update Catalan translation
What's new in v4.0.6:
* Fix crash affecting iOS 8 & 9 devices
What's new in v4.0.5:
* Shows notifications for incoming requests and outgoing approvals
* Displays idle status / last activity in the title bar, for instance "Active 10 min ago". This keeps track of the last time you interact with the app, and will report this value when queried by your contacts. The time you last interacted with the app is identical for all of your accounts, so broadcasting this value is disabled for Tor accounts and when auto-login disabled.
* Fixes a crash when viewing your account details on iOS 8 devices
* Fix issues with contacts that get stuck as "Pending Approval"

VDK74,
Great SMS app and works with Top VoIP service
Background refresh is on as well as notifications but not able to view any notifications unless I open the app
DudeAPPS!,
Nevermind Signal, this is the real deal
Although signal has good encryption technology, it doesn’t have much technology for anonymize yourself behind it like chat secures XXMP + Omemo technology. The encryption algorithms in this app are just as strong if not stronger than Signals, and it DOES not require a phone number like signal. Both are great depending on your use case, but I believe chat secure is better if you want to stay safe from the NSA or from prying eyes. Its great for reporters, high security situations/people, system admins who need to protect their assets or identities from hackers or just anyone in general who wants to stay safer and more anonymous on the internet. In a day where mass surveillance is a real thing, this app is important for privacy of good honest people. This app is simple to use, very stable, and developed by well respected developers. It is not full of features, like telegram, but that is because it’s focus is on security and anonymity. Less code=less flaws. So if that’s what you are looking for, go ahead and ditch the signal app, and the spy driven wikr app, and the crap security telegram app, and start using this well developed, hardened chat app that implements algorithms and technologies much older and more refined/tested than the signal app. Thanks for chat secure!

Good try but...
Ghostiery and similar programs have been deliberately barred by Apple - which loves to play both sides of the datatheft crisis, claiming (and refusing to discuss taken) that it has really good encryption, while not allowing (as required under the Microsoft Internet Explorer decision) the ability to run with Tor or a full version of Firefox, while erasing its own browser from the system.
While Apple execs know there are companies that will crack open an i-phone for anyone with the $$s, it plays the We are So Honest game by announcing it will not do the job requested by ignorant police organizations.
So, here’s a program that claims not to collect anything much, and only gives what’s collected to folks who say real nice that they won’t let things escape, telling you to use a leaky product on an iPhone using a program unavailable because it doesn’t want Real Firefox or Tor available.
So claims of security just cannot be true.
I wish I were wrong about this, but what we need is some way to force Apple into allowing full PGP, if not RSA to run on its hand-held platforms.

3RP33,
Sounds Great!
Unfortunately I’m not really much of an advanced tech in any ay shape or form and find a lot of advanced tech mumbo-jumbo painfully confusing even though I find many types of advanced technology somewhat interesting as well as I usually have or try to use it the best and most up to date stuff when I can regardless of if I even know what I’m doing! Lol! With that being said, when I don’t necessarily understand something all that well I try to at least learn where or what the reputable resources are and The Tor Project is one regarding privacy/security so the fact that they support ChatSecure and list it on their site with direct links to download it means it should be pretty good for secure chatting purposes so once I begin getting more familiar with it I can add more about it!
i2990,
Hope it would be one the most secure ones
After gather some info on this app, I decided to give it a try instead of always secured signal. Wondering how the calls would sound considering different protocols being used.
jsowmzosla,
Amazing app!!
Great xmpp/jabber app. Only complaint is that someone’s notifications aren’t sent until the app is loaded. Please work on the background refresh so notifications always come in when a new message arrives
Shufei,
Deleted Tor? Really? :(
I’ve hunted around online and found no earthly reason why Tor was removed. The issues in ChatSecure github mention support is spotty, but Tor has been getting more funding recently. The probable actual reason was also mentioned: the hope that by removing Tor, they can get ChatSecure into the Chinese App Store. So another handy privacy feature dies thanks to the venal Xi Jinping regime.
You removed Tor, so I removed a star.

Borisattva,
Best xmpp client around
Encrypted, easy to use, and in today's subscription plan world full functionality and a donate button. This app should be your go to for xmpp

Notifications broken
The notifications never come through. It's hard to see the point of a messenger without working notifications.
strawborrys,
Used to work before latest update ):
My app constantly freezes and only some messages actually go through. Am sad bc this is the only OMEMO client on ios as far as I know ): loved the app before the new update despite small bugs here n there
