It supports pluggable backends including Firebase/Firestore and multiple XMPP servers, with authentication, push notifications, and media messaging built in.

Use cases

• add chat messaging to an android app
• build a mobile messenger with firebase backend
• integrate xmpp chat client into android

• chat sdk with push notifications and user profiles

When to choose

• you need a quick, fully featured chat integration on Android
