@IzzyOnDroid I am still not entirely sure what "basic chat functionality" is supposed to mean but you are right. I have even seen arguments about possibly having to accept every server in the group chat indivitually but I highly doubt it will include public rooms. I know many people that I communicate with using SMS because all they have is Whatsapp and their reason against alternatives is a lack of acceas to all their contacts, I wouldn't communicate with Whatsapp directly but they would!
