Hello everyone,

I have discovered SimpleX Chat (nothing to do with XChat or HexChat, or the favorite letter of some dumb billionaire), and it appears being a legit good effort at providing good privacy while retaining “mainstream” usability.

And it has been audited (by one company so far, it seems).

The only concern I have is with regards to battery life (given that it has to maintain roughly as many open connections as you have contacts, AFAICT).

Has anyone here used it? Any opinion?

    Does the app have the ability to send uncompressed videos/files?

    I miss that feature from Telegram when I use Signal

      Afaik yes but it’s not as convenient. (You’re sending a file, which the recipient downloads, instead of a video as a chat-item-thing). I’m not 100% sure on this though
