Whatsapp is actually better for a reason now because this app charges monthly fees or we have option for annual fees and if you are concern about your privacy most then you check the details and go for it rather than this is waste of money for many of the people May this help all of you friends

That's fair — it's a design problem on our side. To clarify: messaging itself is free. What's paid is the optional "Private Circle", where we host a dedicated relay for you. Joining via a friend's invite link costs nothing. But our onboarding makes it look like payment is mandatory, and we're fixing that.

Thanks for the detailed report, and for updating it. The Amber icon not responding on the login screen sounds like a real bug on our side — we've logged it. If you can add your Android and Amber versions at github.com/xchat-app/xchat-app-main/issues it'll help us reproduce. Appreciate you sticking with it.
