ArcaneChat (previously known as DeltaLab) an alternative Delta Chat client for Android is now available in official F-Droid store!
If you already have it you can securely continue to upgrade it now from F-Droid (or IzzyOnDroid) thanks to Reproducible Builds which ensures the apk matches the source code and not me nor F-Droid is manipulating the binary ๐

I recommend Delta Chat, it doesn't needs to create an account since it is just an email client with a chat interface, it is not a replacement for your fancy chat app but for your email app, everyone have email, so will need an email app anyway, it makes email easy to use and encrypted out of the box without your friends having to know what encryption means.
I like XMPP but UI/UX is really poor, it is surprising that this email client has a much better UI/UX than Conversations, it has swipe to reply, etc. I found Conversations ridiculously "hard" to use, blabber.im improves a lot of small details that have an impact in the users every day workflow
