How to synchronize Tox ID between multiple devices?

Multidevice support is being developed and is not yet complete. For now you can export your .tox profile from one device and import it to another using the guides above. But we do NOT recommend that you use the same Tox ID on more than 1 device.

How do I receive push notifications in the background?

Antidote works in the background for only about 30 seconds, after that it will be suspended by iOS. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to extend this time. Antidote does support push notifications. This is in a beta state, and not fully working in all situations yet. Push Notifications are only supported currently by TRIfA (Android), Antidote (iOS) and a beta version of qTox (with Push Notification patch applied).

Can I send messages to offline contacts?

Offline messaging is now supported since version 1.4.2

How to enable PIN and Touch ID?

You can protect your profile with PIN or Touch ID. To do so:

  1. Open Profile tab
  2. Select Profile Details
  3. Turn on PIN Enabled switch
  4. Turn on Touch ID Enabled switch (if available).

Does Antidote connect to any third party servers?

Antidote(exlcuding toxcore) uses the Google Firebase service and a third party server to deliver push notifications to other tox mobile users when they are offline. This makes it possible for Mobile devices to go into sleep mode and save battery and network bandwidth when there is no activity. Rest assured that the push notification does not contain any data, the request that comes from Antidote includes only the FCM token of your contact(s). No ToxID, name or message data is transfered in the process.
