How anonymous is jami for instance about ip address?

Security and Privacy

I have not found jami documentation about how
anonymous you are when using jami. How
much information about your location does people you
have a conversation with on jami get? Can you make a
whois inquiry on a jami user? Does jami leak your ip address?
If so, does a vpn stop that? In jami I have not found a
socks5 box enabling use of tor.
There are people you do not want to be able to get pieces of information about you on the level a whois search
can display. For instance I once made a whois inquiry on
an irc chat. The location details it returned were such that I
stopped using irc if the irc chat does not accept tor. For instance
I read, that meet jitsi is not able to hide your location no matter if you
utilize vpn or tor. The only messenger supporting tor, I have
found, is qtox. Can jami get a socks5 box? Can I get a brief in plain language on jami and
anonymity? Also if jami does ip address leaking? Thanks.

Jami claims it provides privacy. Does a program
which connects to the internet and provides no tor setting option
in order to hide the user’s ip address
provide privacy?

Jami says: Anonymous
No personal information needs to be provided when creating an account.

Jami cannot claim its messenger is anonymous because there is
no tor option to hide the user’s ip address.
