Another example that on such ecosystems you're not really owning your device. Seek alternatives!

It's really time to get as many people as possible out of those toxic ecosystems...

If you're wondering where your battery power goes... this is a nice list of measures for various clients on Android. It looks like XMPP is still hard to beat.

The experience is still not great on iOS and Android. This is in part due to the platforms design though, this still make Qt a great fit when you control the platform like for Plasma Mobile. For less friendly platforms this still limits the use to cases where you already have quite some Qt code. Still the same situation than a few years ago.
