      This hadn’t been emphasized or recognized enough, since Tox has showed up more than a couple of times when discussing private messaging. It so happens the current implementation lacks audits and scrutiny, and shouldn’t be considered safe enough for relevant contents. And it had stayed like that for years now, which is sad, given how promising Tox looked. One can take a look at the issues mentioned in the Warning message, and get into subsequent/linked issues and discussions to find out…

    Last time I tried tox on my mobile phone, it unluckily drained the battery too much. But it already looked very promising.

    I found ‘qTox’ to be a good client for Windows. for android there is ‘aTox’.

    the experience is good with the Windows Client. (aTox does not support Voice and Video call yet. And there is no Tox Id Qr code in the aTox app. qTox has all these features.)
