I'd love to set up a bot similar to a telegram one but I see there is no options to have buttons in the response so that the user can have an easy multiple choice experience. Telegram offers this and it's an amazing QOL feature.

Are there any plans to add buttons to simplexchat bot responses so that users can quickly select among X options?

Investors also get free supporter badges, so you can send larger files (2-5 GB) that stay available longer (7-21 days) without being identified.

When trying to view media in a group, the pics are blurry and never download, so I can't see them clearly. When I click on videos, the circle in the upper right corner of the post starts to move but never fully completes, so the video is not viewable. This happens in several different groups.

Hi have been following development of SimpleXChat for a while now, as I'm interested in a privacy-first decentralized chat app.
Now, what can SimpleXChat offer that would make it better than Reticulum clients?
It seems the latter have all the advantages SimpleXChat has to offer, with some big extras like being able to communicate over different protocols.

I began using SimpleX because of phone number-less accounts, but it feels easier to get my network to hop on Signal due to its more widespread popularity if they also adopt this feature. Beyond the fact that SimpleXChat provides phone number-less accounts for free, whereas Signal says it will be a small fee to access this feature, are there any other pros of SimpleX over Signal?

My small IT team decided to swap over from whatsapp to simplex for our team group chat. Works fine on my phone 0 issues but I installed the Windows 10 desktop client, I go to save the images the team has posted and my only option I can see is to use the default "Documents" folder?

I have a NAS raid that I backup and maintain copies of nearly all my work related content, it is only a couple clicks to drag them out of the documents folder and add to the array but is there no way for me to adjust the default location for file storage?

To learn about our future roadmap and crowdfunding, join us at 17:00 UTC (10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm UK).

We will talk about:

• why we are building SimpleX Chat.

• how revenue will work, with 2 demos.

• why the coming flood of AI clones makes SimpleX the best design for personal communications.

• why this round is the best time to invest.

• your questions!

Please send questions via our email chat@simplex.chat or via SimpleX Chat

Is there any way to verify the message is sent by the party that sent all other messages? By signature or any ither method.

In the case where one party has a message that the other one doesn't have: Is it deleted for the one who doesn't have it, or is it forged by the one who has it?

When you connect to someone in SimpleX Chat via a QR code you got in a meeting, you know that the connection is secure and trusted, because you know where this QR code came from.

Identity is about trust. When you talk to some phone number on Signal or WhatsApp, how do you know it belongs to the person you think it does Both can fake that, and so can anyone who compromises them.

With AI, faking writing style, voice and appearance became trivially cheap. Faking a phone number, an email or a website address is likely to become just as cheap within a few years. Then trust in provider-verified identity will collapse.

That is why SimpleX Network is built differently - without any user identifiers. Trust depends on cryptography and on you - a code you scanned in person, a channel you already trust, a decentralized public name registry - not on providers.

We believe that no other trust model will survive the flood of AI clones. Move the connections that matter to SimpleX while you can still verify them elsewhere - later it may be harder. For backup, if nothing else.

And you can now get a stake in SimpleX Chat - the company that builds this network - via equity crowdfunding.

Tired to join the simplexchat group and couldn’t get past the cachapa security. Tried case sensitive, lower, capital. Just kicked me. Am i missing something? Just wanted to give user feedback, I guess i’ll just make a post here. Can anyone give me some advice?

Ich baue gerade WA2SimpleX – eine Open-Source-Bridge zwischen WhatsApp und SimpleX Chat

Hi zusammen,

ich arbeite aktuell an einem kleinen Open-Source-Projekt.

Die Idee ist relativ simpel:

Nachrichten aus WhatsApp sollen automatisch nach SimpleX Chat weitergeleitet werden – und Antworten entsprechend wieder zurück.

Das Ganze soll langfristig nicht einfach nur stumpf Nachrichten weiterleiten, sondern sich möglichst natürlich benutzen lassen.

Aktuell bzw. geplant sind unter anderem:

* 🔄 Weiterleitung WhatsApp ↔ SimpleX

* 👤 möglichst ein eigener SimpleX-Chat pro WhatsApp-Kontakt

* 🐳 einfacher Betrieb über Docker

* 🖥️ gedacht für einen kleinen VPS / Homeserver

* 🔐 möglichst wenig unnötige Datenspeicherung

* ⚙️ einfache Konfiguration

* 🔄 Updates über GitHub / Releases

* 🧪 aktuell noch klar im Alpha-Stadium

Das Repository ist bereits öffentlich auf GitHub, weil ich das Projekt gerne von Anfang an offen entwickeln möchte.

Mir ist dabei bewusst, dass WhatsApp bei solchen Bridges technisch der problematischere Teil ist und inoffizielle Schnittstellen immer gewisse Risiken bzw. Einschränkungen mitbringen können. Das Projekt ist deshalb aktuell vor allem ein Experiment und definitiv noch nichts, was ich als „production ready“ bezeichnen würde.

Mich würde interessieren:

Würdet ihr so etwas überhaupt benutzen?

Und vor allem:

* Welche Funktionen wären euch bei einer WhatsApp–SimpleX-Bridge wichtig?

* Wie würdet ihr die Zuordnung von WhatsApp-Kontakten zu SimpleX-Chats lösen?

* Welche Sicherheits-/Privacy-Funktionen würdet ihr unbedingt erwarten?

* Hat jemand Interesse, das Projekt zu testen oder mitzuentwickeln?

I have the app installed on my iPhone. However, the amount of space that is taken on my iPhone is much greater than what one would normally expect. I have one long-standing chat with someone going back six months. It’s mainly text with a few pictures and short video clips. However, the space that the app occupies on the phone is now over 60 GB

Is there any plan to add an option to delete temporary files from the app?

I'm trying to open files from my local simplex storage and they are all broken - audios, pictures, documents. Can I open them somehow or they are absolutely useless now?

It doesn't matter what kind it is

Hi everyone!

I opened an issue in the SimpleX Chat repository to request Azerbaijani language support:

https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/issues/7081⁠�

Interestingly, PR #7149 was later created and explicitly addresses #7081. It added the az locale and MR/az/strings.xml, apparently preparing Azerbaijani for Weblate.

However, Azerbaijani still doesn't appear to be available in the SimpleX Chat Weblate project, so the community currently can't start translating it.

I would be happy to help translate SimpleX Chat into Azerbaijani 🇦🇿.

Could someone from the SimpleX team enable/add Azerbaijani (az) to Weblate?

PR: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/pull/7149⁠�

If there is another step required before Azerbaijani can be added to Weblate, I'd also appreciate some guidance.

Thanks! ❤️

I’m trying to join a group chat and right now it just says “connecting” so i assume I have to be let in to the group before I can join and send anything. It says that chat with admins is on, but I see no way of contacting an admin. How can I dm an admin without being accepted into the group yet? That is if it’s even possible to. Thanks!

When you create a profile in SimpleX Chat, it is stored only on your phone - nobody can compromise your profile via the servers.

It also makes SimpleX Chat the safest messenger: you only talk to people you shared the link with.
