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.
