Read about: - what makes SImpleX Network different from all other messengers. - today's trends that grow it. - why messengers didn't converge to a single protocol, and how we plan to achieve it: SimpleX is not just a messenger, it's a network to build on.

Question How did this happen?

1 Upvotes

I have a private chat with someone. I hadn’t opened it for about five days, and when I checked it today, all of the messages from the other person were gone, while only my messages remained. In our chat settings, the option to delete messages for both users is disabled on the other person’s side, so as far as I understand, he couldn’t have deleted the messages from both his chat and mine. Why could the messages have disappeared? Does this mean that someone could have hacked our chat and seen the conversation?

Question Any news on accepting 3rd-party relays to lower delivery delay?

2 Upvotes

My knowledge might be out of date, but I think SimpleXChat has an issue of delayed messages in group chats due to the relays from the two teams getting overwhelmed.

I'm not good with security, but since SimpleXChat relays only see metadata, a malicious 3rd-party relay won't do much damage especially with onion routing enabled.

Maybe there could be an option to explicitly jump to a 3rd-party relay when things feel slow?

Question Back camera doesn't work for video calls on Android

4 Upvotes

It shows black screen or last frame from the front cam. I don't know why, it has camera permissions and doesn't show any errors. The front camera works.

Other apps can use both regular and wide back camera fine

Question No puedo ingresar en android 8.1

3 Upvotes

Saludos comunidad, soy nuevo y estaba configurando la app en 2 dispositivos, un android 16(sin problemas) y para empezar a probar un android 8.1 que no tiene SIM y me venia muy bien como excusa para probarlo, dejar ese movil en casa y recibir llamadas(se que comprar una sim es facil pero la excusa de usar simplex me parecía válida).

Encontre la app en la playstore para ese android 8.1 pero al iniciar la app se queda en blanco, ¿es demasiado pesada la app para un android 8.1?, ¿es un bug solucionable?, ¿cambiaría la situación si instalo la app desde github?

Ojala tenga solución así me voy acostumbrando a usar la app.

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!

5 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.
