Clients¶
If you already have an account on Chatrix.One, the next step is to install the necessary communication software. In case you do not yet have a registration and wish to obtain one, see the Registration section.
What is a Client?¶
Client is the application (software) through which we use the service. It is important to know what operating system we are working with, as it depends on what software we will choose. Below you will find a list of tested and 100% OMEMO compatible variants, according to the operating system used.
