Comment (by vegansalad):

 The main devs for Chatsecure, Conversations, and Monal are discussing
 creating a modifying version of OMEMO based on the OLM protocol (which is
 pretty similar to what the axolotl protocol v2 looked like.).
 https://github.com/anurodhp/Monal/issues/9

 They want to build a tweaked version of something like OMEMO that would be
 incompatible with existing OMEMO clients, but that would be able to
 communicate with XMPP clients in the iOS app store like ChatSecure.

 If Tor Messenger is going to impliment an encryption protocol like OMEMO,
 it might be worth it to use the fork that these people are building
 instead of OMEMO itself so that Tor Messenger users can communicate with
 iOS users using a Signal based encryption standard. Also, OMEMO was
 created by the Conversations App person, so it he is transitioning to
 something else, it might be good to use that instead of OMEMO.
