Delta Chat on Symbian (Nokia N95) and general questions about KaiOS client

[movcfeqbc]

Expected behavior

I would like to keep using Delta Chat as my main messaging system on older / limited phones, including KaiOS and Symbian devices, and stay in touch with friends who already use Delta Chat.

Actual behavior

I can find information about a Delta Chat client for KaiOS, but I cannot find any Delta Chat client or port for Symbian (specifically for a Nokia N95).
Most available information and discussions are in English, which makes it a bit difficult for me to understand all the possibilities.

Context / Description

Hello everyone,
I recently joined the Delta Chat forum and I’m still learning how everything works here.

I have bought two phones (both are still on the way):

• Nokia 8110 4G (KaiOS)
• Nokia N95 (Symbian)

From what I understand, there is a Delta Chat client for KaiOS, so that part should be covered. However, I haven’t used KaiOS before, and my phone will arrive in about a month, so I currently have no experience with how Delta Chat works on KaiOS or how the system is used in general.

On the other hand, I haven’t seen any Delta Chat client available for Symbian, and I would really like to know if there is any way to use Delta Chat on a Nokia N95.

If a native Delta Chat client for Symbian does not exist:

• Is there any workaround to use Delta Chat on Symbian?
• For example, could it be possible to use a very basic email client together with the same encryption/decryption system that Delta Chat uses, or something similar?

Additionally, I often see mentions of bots and games related to Delta Chat, but I don’t really know how they work or where to find them. Any explanation or examples would be very welcome.

Please note that I speak Spanish, not English, so I may miss some information when searching or reading documentation. Any guidance, links, or explanations (even simple ones) would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your time and help.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Search for a Delta Chat client for Symbian.
2. Find no official or community-supported client.
3. Get unsure about possible alternatives or workarounds.

Delta Chat on feature phone or dumbphone

Hi there, is there any chance to get Delta Chat in a feature or dumb phone? I see old conversation about a KaiOS version in github and this forum, but I have no idea if this has actually been done. No idea if this can be possible at all… Lot of users nowadays are coming back to dumbphones, focusing on digital detox and/or having less dependency on technology (and toxic apps), but still they would appreciate to stay in touch with friends. This would also align with the “principle of security a…

at the moment there are just experiments, it is not ready to install.
I planned to pick up the project again, but thus far there was not enough interest. (like under 10 people asked for it)
