Hi everyone!

Welcome to the latest edition of your pseudo-monthly JMP update!

In case it’s been a while since you checked out JMP, here’s a refresher: JMP lets you send and receive text and picture messages (and calls) through a real phone number right from your computer, tablet, phone, or anything else that has a Jabber client. Among other things, JMP has these features: Your phone number on every device; Multiple phone numbers, one app; Free as in Freedom; Share one number with multiple people.

JMP at SeaGL

The Seattle GNU/Linux Conference (SeaGL) is happening next week and JMP will be there! We’re going to have a booth with some of our employees, and will have JMP eSIM Adapters and USB card readers for purchase (if you prefer to save on shipping, or like to pay cash or otherwise), along with stickers and good conversations. :) The exhibition area is open all day on Friday and Saturday, November 8 and 9, so be sure to stop by and say hi if you happen to be in the area. We look forward to seeing you!

Cheogram Android in Amazon Appstore

We have just added Cheogram Android to the Amazon Appstore! And we also added Cheogram Android to Aptoide earlier this month. While F-Droid remains our preferred official source, we understand many people prefer to use stores that they’re used to, or that come with their device. We also realize that many people have been waiting for Cheogram Android to return to the Play Store, and we wanted to provide this other option to pay for Cheogram Android while Google works out the approval process issues on their end to get us back in there. We know a lot of you use and recommend app store purchases to support us, so let your friends know about this new Amazon Appstore option for Cheogram Android if they’re interested!

New features in Cheogram Android

As usual, we’ve added a bunch of new features to Cheogram Android over the past month or so. Be sure to update to the latest version (2.17.2-1) to check them out! (Note that Amazon doesn’t have this version quite yet, but it should be there shortly.) Here are the notable changes since our last newsletter: privacy-respecting link previews (generated by sender), more familiar reactions, filtering of conversation list by account, nicer autocomplete for mentions and emoji, and fixes for Android 15, among many others.
