Is it ok? Is there something else you recommend instead? I tried nextcloud talk and it was pretty bad. Jitsi was ok but self hosting it looked complicated. FOSS only, of course.

Thanks, that is helpful. Have you tried building from source on the desktop? Right now I've only used the fdroid apk's. It works on one of my phones (Android 14) but not on the other (Android 7).

Are you sure the phone it doesn't work on is older than android 7? According to its f-droid jami URL its latest version as well as two more also documented there, they all work on android 7 or later.

I use LOS4uG, and I'm currently on android 14, so no need to build jami myself. Can you enable "unstable updates" on f-droid's "expert mode"? Perhaps then you get latest app, and that one works better. Otherwise you can report an issue to the android client, and perhaps you get guidance from them. You can also use their forum to ask questions. I have filed issues only so far.

I'll see if I can try that stuff in the next few days but it's my old phone that I don't use much anymore.m, and I have some RL stuff going on. Thanks. Yes it is Android 7 for sure.
