Does anyone know of any blind accessible IM clients that are available on Apple & [either Android or Windows] devices?

I have a friend who primarily uses Text-to-Speech on her Apple phone, and relies on WhatsApp & Facebook messenger. I avoid those because [privacy nastiness + stalker history on them].

We want to talk more, but neither are sure what to suggest. "Install many things, find out which is accessible through trial & error" isn't really fair on her.

@robparsons Yeah, I really wish devs/marketing would uh, prioritise this stuff and actually mention when they have, cuz like.. They've put in the effort, but the market-default is 'no' and.. Having no way to know that is silly.

(I'm not blind, but use accessibility stuff for other disabilities & run into this myself a lot)
