## SimpleX Chat Description
SimpleX - the first messaging network without user identifiers of any kind (not even random numbers) - 100% private by design!

Security assessments by Trail of Bits:
2022: 
2024: 

SimpleX Chat features:
- quantum resistant end-to-end encrypted messages, with editing, replies and deletion.
- disappearing messages with opt-out per contact/group.
- message reactions.
- delivery receipts, with opt-out per contact or group.
- multiple chat profiles, with hidden profiles.
- app access and self-destruct passcodes.
- incognito mode - unique to SimpleX Chat.
- end-to-end encrypted images and files.
- voice messages up to 5 minutes – also end-to-end encrypted.
- "live" messages – they update for all recipients as you type them, every few seconds - unique to SimpleX Chat.
- connect via one-time invitation links or via long-term public addresses.
- secret chat groups - only group members know the group exists and who is the member.
- end-to-end encrypted audio and video calls.
- connection security code verification, for contacts and group members – to protect from man-in-the-middle attacks (e.g. invitation link substitution).
- end-to-end encrypted push notifications (they contain only encrypted meta-data, not the actual content).
- encrypted portable chat database - you can transfer your chat contacts and history to another device.
- all local files and media are encrypted by default.
- animated images and "stickers" (e.g., from GIF and PNG files and from 3rd party keyboards).

SimpleX Chat advantages:
- 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 proxied peer-to-peer network: you can use SimpleX Chat via your own relay servers and still communicate with people using pre-configured or any other SimpleX relay servers.
- fully open-source code.

You can connect to anybody you know via link or scan QR code (in the video call or in person) and start sending messages instantly - no emails, phone numbers or passwords needed.
 
Your profile and contacts are only stored in the app on your device - relay servers do not have access to this information.
 
All messages are end-to-end encrypted using open-source quantum resistant double-ratchet protocol; the messages are delivered via relay servers using open-source SimpleX Messaging Protocol.

## SimpleX Chat Reviews in Germany

### ***** "Interessanter Messenger ohne identifier"
Es wäre toll, wenn es einen Simple-Mode geben würde. Für Leute die sonst WhatsApp, Signal nutzen sind es zu viele Optionen die man erst verstehen muss.
-- Krone89, 2024-09-28

### ****- "So weit so gut"
Der App fehlen leider noch einige Funktionen… ich würde gerne Unterordner für Chats erstellen können um meine Gruppen und Kontakte zu sortieren. 
Außerdem wären überarbeitet Gruppenfunktionen nicht schlecht. 
Im gesamten aber trotzdem eine super Alternative.
-- GreenZ030, 2024-09-27

### ***-- "Top!"
Tolle App. Das Prinzip ist klasse.
Aber: Automatisches Backup fehlt. Profilbild ist verschwommen.
-- Max5421, 2024-07-13

### ***** "Der Goldstandard"
Gibt nichts zu meckern
-- Aaron🇩🇪, 2024-05-30

### *---- "Not Working"
Is not connecting with other user. All settings are made properly from both ends but is not connecting
-- Xane., 2024-05-08

### *---- "Nichts funktioniert richtig!"
18.3.24/Textnachrichten stundenlang verspätet, Anrufe brechen nach Annahme sofort ab. Links funktionieren nicht! ISP Internetzugangsprovider Deutsche Telekom.
-- Diktierer492, 2024-03-18

### *---- "App lädt nicht mehr"
Nachdem die App gelöscht und neu geladen wurde, lässt sie sich nicht mehr öffnen …es kommt nur die Anzeige „Die App wird geöffnet“ aber es passiert Nix
-- MiBond#74, 2024-01-31

### ***** "Top"
really like the app. Just had to move everything to a new phone and it went so smooth! 👍
-- vec7700, 2023-09-24

### ***** "Sehr gut aber noch fehlen Funktionen für die UX"
- Keine Chathintergründe möglich.
 
- Zum antworten muss man lange auf die Nachricht drücken (-> die Nachricht nach rechts ziehen wie bei Telegram ist schneller)

- Chat beim durchscrollen noch sehr sehr ruckelig :/ muss flüßiger werden
-- Blabla blieb Blueblabla, 2023-08-27

### ****- "Alternative zu den big Tech Playern"
Mich würde mal interessieren ,wie man beim Handywechsel oder Neuinstallation den Schlüssel importieren kann.Muss immer ein  komplett neuen Account erstellen.
-- Finanztrucker, 2023-08-11

### ***** "Great messenger"
Nice, lean appearance, various useful functions, good and stabil performance
-- HolgerTarifa, 2023-03-21

### ***** "Perfekt für Privatsphäre"
Funktioniert richtig gut und man muss sich kaum umgewöhnen.
-- Dornus, 2023-02-23

### ***** "Sehr guter Messanger"
Simplex funktioniert einwandfrei, auch mit eigenen Servern und ist dazu noch "sicher"
-- Olga Grasovka, 2023-02-01

### ***** "Great messenger!"
Cool messenger for people who want to have private and anonymous conversations without having a central instance! Works reliably with state-of-the-art features, found no bugs so far. UI is intuitive and easy to handle. Guess this will be my default messenger in future!
-- Schrotty2, 2023-01-03
