So as a United flier(haven't flown for two months, though), I know that they provide the following free:

  • a selection of locally hosted movies and TV shows
  • RCS, iMessage
  • Internet messaging services like meta messenger and snapchat(I can't speak on more niche messengers like Jami or any forms of XMPP

You have to pay extra(or sign in with t-mobile) to get in flight internet access.

I hope that this means that you'll get unrestricted internet access for free, instead of only a few apps and services.

Signal and WhatsApp work with the free messaging option. I was a little surprised by Signal.

IIRC telegram does as well

Snapchat works, but messages take minutes to send and receive.
