⁠What is SimpleX Chat?

SimpleX Chat - the first messaging platform that has no user identifiers of any kind - 100% private by design!

SimpleX Chat features:

• end-to-end encrypted messages, with editing, replies and deletion of messages.
• sending end-to-end encrypted images and files.
• single-use and long-term user addresses.
• secret chat groups - only group members know it exists and who is the member.
• end-to-end encrypted audio and video calls.
• private instant notifications.
• portable chat profile - you can transfer your chat contacts and history to another device (terminal or mobile).

SimpleX Chat advantages:

• Full privacy of your identity, profile, contacts and metadata: unlike any other existing messaging platform, SimpleX uses no phone numbers or any other identifiers assigned to the users - not even random numbers. This protects the privacy of who you are communicating with, hiding it from SimpleX platform servers and from any observers.
• Complete protection against spam and abuse: as you have no identifier on SimpleX platform, you cannot be contacted unless you share a one-time invitation link or an optional temporary user address.
• Full ownership, control and security of your data: SimpleX stores all user data on client devices, the messages are only held temporarily on SimpleX relay servers until they are received.
• Decentralized network: you can use SimpleX with your own servers and still communicate with people using the servers that are pre-configured in the apps or any other SimpleX servers.
