Yes, but back in June 2020 it sent the keys over transport encryption, not inside OMEMO, meaning it was effectively transport encrypted and not E2EE.
I’m asking whether that changed.
For reference: https://github.com/iNPUTmice/Conversations/issues/1234#issuecomment-644670884
Calls do not use OMEMO, but instead use DTLS-SRTP - which is still end-to-end encrypted as only both devices have the keys for the calls.
That said, as of a few weeks ago, Conversations does use verified OMEMO keys in the handshake to display a shield on the call: https://github.com/iNPUTmice/Conversations/releases/tag/2.9.8 (note that this requires that you have physically scanned the QR code of your contact’s OMEMO key).
