    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).

          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.

            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?
