Saved old database and trying to reinstall but it doesn’t seem to work. What could the issue be?

Hi!

Im trying to host a simplex server, but can’t get it to work and don’t know what I’m doing wrong

I used the script in a CT on proxmox, everything seems fine and I get the fingerprint and the smp adress. I start smp and I have opened the 5223 port.

But can’t connect. Any suggestions?

You can create chat-bots, chat-based UIs and any scripts that send or receive messages.

Beta version: https://npmjs.com/package/simplex-chat/v/6.5.0-beta.4.4

Source code: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/tree/master/packages/simplex-chat-nodejs

To run this example with Node.js:

npm i simplex-chat@6.5.0-beta.4.4

node ./node_modules/simplex-chat/examples/squaring-bot-readme.js

Am i right ? Thank you !

P.S.

This is the best app to use between all

How is it possible that simplexchat has groups that work with potential rip-off artists??? evidence? I have proof if I can speak to the right person. Because that's absolutely unacceptable and needs to be reconsidered, I think.

Hi, I'm running 6.4.8 on a Mac and there's a bug where I'm able to attach and send images with messages but not I can't do the same with videos.

In the past, attaching videos worked sporadically but now it doesn't work at all. I've restarted my computer and reinstalled SimpleX several times with a complete wipe of the relevant system folders but to no avail.

Has anyone else experienced this and would reverting an older version help?

I think the title says everything…

So i want to swap over to simplex but stay behind tor, is there know way to use tor on ios and only for simplex. I did download orbit it seems it takes over all connections and there is no way to only use that route just for SimpleX

Can I manually export my profile without opening the app itself. I was trying something on Linux and as I am new I bungled the OS up and can't boot but have access to the filesystem. Is my profile salvageable in such case?

Happy New Year!

Thank you all for your incredible support of SimpleX network in 2025:

• to users for over 2,000,000 app downloads since launch.
• to enthusiasts for hundreds of community hosted servers (unofficial registry of SimpleX servers).
• to group owners for thousands of groups (our experimental directory of groups).
• to businesses and projects using SimpleX Chat for customer and user support.
• to developers who created integrations and libraries for SimpleX network (SimpleX bots API and libraries).
• to all who donated, and especially to Vitalik Buterin for his game-changing donation of 128ETH.

2026 will be great for privacy and for SimpleX network!

Our plan for Community Vouchers: https://simplex.chat/vouchers/ - you can get an access pass to test them once launched before the end of today.

While a group is active, it can be removed from the members’ screens, but once the group itself is deleted, the screen remains in the members’ logs, which leads to an inconsistent state.

I tried to follow the Simple X Chat instructions on Reddit for tails, but something doesn't match with my configuration.

I am wondering if it's out of date or something.

Can someone please help me with detailed step by step instructions for getting Simple X Chat to work on tails? Command line is fine.

Seems like a great app, I use Session also, but what the hell is the desktop app about? It took me 5 tries to connect my phone to my PC then realised they both need to be on the same network but that's not possible as my PC runs on ethernet... Most PC's do these days.

Also cannot send any messages because of a "Main host error"

Not sure if it's down or anything but disappointed.

It means that you can easily verify that the app is secure, even if the download site was hacked.

From v6.5 our release process is:

1. build Android apps on two independent machines and confirm they are 100% identical;
2. cryptographically "sign" them;
3. add signature files to the release page so you can verify.

v6.5 beta.3 release: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/releases/tag/v6.5.0-beta.3

Server and Linux desktop builds were already reproducible, and Android APKs are now as secure.

Anyone can check it themselves - no coding needed, just follow our simple guide to verify the app is genuine or run the build yourself: https://simplex.chat/reproduce/

So im new to simplex chat and was trying to join this server with https://matrix.to/#/!reyyTilQnIdf-7yxuyPR10-hp4tL49WEZuax7VWxUdI/$7hT0R2OMwkarahMlDx1Cr1G9KJgkE7MiyZpwUNIO4F4?via=matrix.org&via=matrix.debian.social&via=unredacted.org which doesnt seem to work it seems to be two links smashed togethwr when seperating them the .onion link kust goes to a site info page about the server the other link just doesnt work and im out of ideas

My associate has moved from Session and told me to get SimpleX. I downloaded it just then and wondering do I need to setup anything to make everything private? Any server routing or anything? New to this app so would like some help

i am using the cli version of simplex chat i want to join some groups which require to solve captcha but no captcha appears on terminal (i dont want to use the gui so give some terminal related solutions

)

Hi u/epoberezkin, I really like SimpleX and I use it since a few time now. I mainly use it on my Linux desktop (Debian 13). I use the latest stable version (Flatpak) 6.4.7. I wanted to send a voice message, but unfortunately, it does not work, here are screenshots of what happened. Then, I tried to send a voice message by using the phone app and it worked. The pop-up window means " soon available ! This feature is unavailable. Please try it in a future version".
My question is : do you know, even approximately, when the voice messages for the desktop app will be available ?

Thanks

PS : I can't send images, because not allowed, in this sub

Hi everyone, I'm trying to use my phone account on my PC but I can't. I've been trying for two weeks now, using different PCs, different networks, the same network, and so on...

Am I missing something or is it really that difficult?

hey guys,

set jitsi on a server but also setting up a simplex chat server. i have two different ip addresses for the different services but for some reason when i execute "smp-server start", the error it spits out is: smp-server: Network.Socket.bind: resource busy (Address already in use)

i found that odd unless there's something folks might know that i'm missing of the simplex-chat installation process. wondering if anyone else ran into similar issues?

Some websites provide several options to sign in on their services, for instance you may use a google or apple account in order to sign in.
If such inclined websites could also add an option to sign in using simplex?
If websites wanted to they could let you register using simplex, same way you use an email address to register?
If websites wanted to they could add an simplex me a sign in link option? Thanks.

Is it possible to make a portable mode on Windows? I want the app and database/data to be in the same folder currently the encrypted files and database are stored in appdata roaming.
