session wont connect. is anyone else having issues?

Signal impersonation risk?
Session's reasoning seems much more... cagey. Telling people to recreate their identities themselves sounds a little like the Threema stopgap solution, but it's much sloppier (I can't imagine end users WANT to recreate their account and communicate this to all their contacts via a third party). They're talking about implementing this eventually, but the ticket for doing so was closed right after saying this.

Jabber.org, the original XMPP IM service has migrated to Prosody IM
Conversations [1] is the best Android XMPP client I know. IIRC they pushed the adoption of OMEMO and implemented it first, before the desktop clients could catch up.

Chat app without undo or delete of messages
Maybe have a look at Briar or good old Jabber (XMPP) with OTR or OMEMO, e.g. implemented in Conversations.
