SimpleX Chat

Hello everyone,

I have discovered SimpleX Chat (nothing to do with XChat or HexChat, or the favorite letter of some dumb billionaire), and it appears being a legit good effort at providing good privacy while retaining "mainstream" usability.

And it has been audited (by one company so far, it seems).

The only concern I have is with regards to battery life (given that it has to maintain roughly as many open connections as you have contacts, AFAICT).

Has anyone here used it? Any opinion?

  • Does the app have the ability to send uncompressed videos/files?

    I miss that feature from Telegram when I use Signal

    • Afaik yes but it's not as convenient. (You're sending a file, which the recipient downloads, instead of a video as a chat-item-thing). I'm not 100% sure on this though
