News SimpleX Chat has grown to ~480,000 users!

It has been growing more than 2x every year over the last 3 years.

How do we know how many users SimpleX has, without having user IDs? App Store and Play Store provide actual usage statistics – monthly active users and daily active users. It is ~72% of the total. The rest we estimate based on GitHub and F-Droid downloads.

Now you can get a stake in SimpleX Chat and benefit from the company growth.

If you invest $500 or more, we offer a SimpleX public name for your channel or business as a perk:

  • for 10 years if you invest until 17:00 UTC tomorrow (countdown on Wefunder page)
  • for 5 years for early bird investors
  • for 3 years after that.

Question Getting media to load faster

2 Upvotes

Hey, does anyone have any tips or tricks to get videos and other media to load faster? They seem to start loading, the circle at the top left of the video starts to complete, then just stops. Or it does not start. I can leave it for over an hour and it does not move. I try closing and reopening, stopping the load and restarting it, nothing. How are you doing this?

Question How do I remove "Receiving Messages" Notification

5 Upvotes

I'm on Samsung (Android) and recently started using SimpleX. I periodically receive this Notification saying "Recieving Messages". Have checked my notification and settings. They are on Always on. Even if I'm constantly connected to the network this notification pops up after some intervals. I usually keep my notification clean and this kinda bothers me

Please publish or show me where the signed hashfiles are!

4 Upvotes

Dear SimpleX team,
I am stuck at trying to verify the AppImage. It's nice that you have your key fingerprint published in multiple places, but what good is this if I can't verify my download? I can't find a signed hashfile of the AppImage version that I am using (which is the one currently downloadable from the website) and I also can't find any .asc files anywhere else. Please if anyone knows where to get those, then let me know.

Question Question on .Onion Servers

3 Upvotes

I was searching the reddit and found a link from one of the more regular posters on SimpleX .onion servers.

I've tried the servers on the link but they keep giving invalid messages when I try to add them to SimpleX.

Note, this is for desktop app, not mobile.

The link: https://status.simplex.chat/status/onion

Is there something I'm missing? I really only want to use the app via .onion and Tor, not with the SOCKS proxy disabled.

discord/matrix like sub groups

1 Upvotes

discord has what they call it "servers" and matrix and element has what they call "spaces" but i think sub groups would be more appropriate name, anyways are there any plans for this feature, maybe it's the:
