With all the Dapps among the Hive ecosystem, we end up using discord or telegram to comunicate.
Is there an app for instant messaging among the Hive ecosystem?
This question was created on quello.io, Quello is a question and answer platform built exclusively for Hive. Answer this question on Quello by clicking here.
I heard that it will be available to us after the next hard fork.
I guess it wouldn't be difficult to implement on something like @ecency, using the memo field to send encrypted messages. Although it does cost a fraction of hive per message to use. I would likely still use it. But real instant messaging should probably be implemented as an off-chain function.
There are several open source messaging standards to pick and choose from.
Maybe the frontend developers could settle with one such standard and develop cross platform instant messaging based on it.
That is kind of what I was thinking. For the encrypted communication at least.
It is true that it would cost 0.001 hive at least, but if we both where chatting, the 0,001 hive would be going back and forth so in the end it would cost almost nothing.
It would increase with the addition of more members to the group chat.
Mostly discord is where the chat action is. Even if there was a Hive based one, discord would yield better results for whatever you're aiming for.

Ok! I will take a look at that platform! Thanks for the info!
Unfortunately, OpenHive.Chat is a third-party web-based app not based on the Hive blockchain.
Dapplr has a chat on their roadmap. check them out
Just went to check it now! Is it a new android and IOS for Hive?
Yes, but iOS is not released yet.

Hive users often use Discord instant messaging and chatting. As to wheather there is an on-chain app for instant messaging, I don't think most people would want their instant messages stored on chain.
Yes but, on the other hand, you could have private messaging as you can use with the MEMO using # before the message, which can only be seen by the receiver with it's private key
