Even before I contact the kids to ask one of them to join me as a guinea pig, I installed the Session software on on #iOS tablet and one #Android tablet. I launched the iOS app, created an ID, flipped over to the "link a device" QR code, clicked "Link to an existing account" on Android. Result: in 0 out of 4 attempts did the Android version perceive that authorization was granted on the iOS side, even after sitting for a few minutes. Nope. People are not going to fiddle with it to try to get one ID active on two devices. (Incidentally, two devices connected to the same ID is the maximum allowed. If you have two phones and two tablets, you won't be able to use the same ID on all of them.)- just an actual husbear likes this.

>The Loki Project is the team behind Session. The Loki Project is supported by the not-for-profit Loki Foundation. Loki provides users with tools to interact online in an anonymous, decentralised, secure and private way. Loki builds and maintains the Loki privacy suite, comprised of a private transaction system, the $LOKI cryptocurrency, and a decentralised network of user-operated service nodes. Session uses this decentralised network to power its proxy routing system — and the onion requests system that will be replacing proxy routing.
Just the mention of blockchain/cryptocur is enough to make me run the other way.
