Q&A Highlights

The Q&A session was lively and engaging! Here are a few highlights:

A: QuickBlox provides various listeners within our SDKs that you can subscribe to. By subscribing to these listeners, your application will be notified of new messages or other subscribed events. This ensures that your application remains synchronized with incoming messages, keeping the chat updated with the latest content.

A: Yes, QuickBlox supports the implementation of push notifications for both Android and iOS platforms.

A: QuickBlox allows you to create custom chatbots using our SmartChat Assistant. You can customize the content and behavior of your chatbot, including how it handles unanswered questions. The chatbot can be embedded directly on your website using our widget or integrated into your applications via our SDKs and APIs.

A: QuickBlox currently does not offer end-to-end encryption. However, chats are encrypted and securely stored in the database, with both network and disk encryption in place. We are actively working on introducing end-to-end encryption in the future.

A: QuickBlox offers dedicated enterprise installations, allowing us to host our backend on your chosen cloud provider (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure). This setup enables you to select the specific region for installation, ensuring the server is as close as possible to your users, thereby minimizing latency.
