    It is the default in the clients that cover like 95% of the user-base.

      I think it’s supported but not turned on by default. At least when I tried conversations recently it was not default in one on ones, and not available at all in group chats.

        Odd, for me it defaults in 1:1 chats, when was the last time you tried?

        For group chats it AFAIK is enabled automatically if the group-chat creator has made the right settings for it to work (OMEMO can not work with pseudonymous chats and history disabled).

            If the other side of the 1:1 chat uses a client that does not support OMEMO by default, then something like that can happen. Did you at least get the big red warning sign that the 1:1 chat isn’t encrypted?

          OMEMO can not work with pseudonymous chats and history disabled

          OMEMO works fine in a private group chat, it’s disabled in public channels as there’s no point doing encryption there (when anyone can join and it’s impossible for verify everyone’s fingerprints).
