User laments XMPP and OMEMO encryption headaches on new phones

Original: Neues Handy - neuer Frust mit Conversations / XMPP und OMEMO. Alle paar Monate fliegt uns die Familiengruppe auseinander

A user reports ongoing frustration with the Conversations XMPP messenger: every few months a new phone breaks the family group chat, because OMEMO encryption keys stop matching and relatives can no longer read each other's messages. The complaint resonates with others who find key exchange and device management in decentralized messaging still too fiddly for everyday family use.

Why now: Frustration over encrypted messaging breaking when switching phones is a widely shared pain point among users of decentralized chat apps.
