SimpleX Chat
Private and Secure messaging platform without user IDs
Will this new messenger replace Signal?
by Evgeny Poberezkin
Is it a simple chat app or something like Telegram with channels and groups support?
It doesn’t have channels, only groups. It’s more like Signal with no phone number req but with worse UX as a trade off
Signal only ask for a phone number to verify your identity… its far from private
It’s more or less truly anonymous chat. Like you meet someone on the street and need to chat with them, but don’t want to give them any personally identifiable info. It’s really cool in concert, but good luck getting anyone to use it. Signal is good enough if you’re paranoid. TBH Telegram secret chats are just as good for sensitive stuff and way easier to get folks to use.
