As someone who has worked extensively with XMPP in the last ~6 years let me tell you that it works fine with network hopping, multiple devices and everything else you'd come to expect from a modern IM experience in the likes of WhatsApp and Signal.

I have written a lengthy article in 2016 in the state of mobile XMPP: https://gultsch.de/xmpp_2016.html

The situation has only improved from there.

I'll read it with much interest, thanks a lot.

You know, I like the sound of you and the makers of Xabber. The "myth" of XMPP being unsuited to mobile / IM is clearly overblown if you're only even half-right about it all (because then that means there's no "fundamentally broken" paradigm). It's great to hear the community is active nonetheless! ~
