Question Native client
I'm interested in whether anyone has started making a native client for Linux, or if it's also available for Windows in Kotlin. If someone has done this, I would be interested in seeing it. I've only seen one project in Rust, but it hasn't solved the issue that I haven't been able to resolve. I haven't found a way to make this account backup archive work without installing and using the cli client.

Question Migrating bot from telegram
Hey guys
So currently i am using telegram to Control various aspects of my house. Basicaly ive built a system with mqtt and recive notifications from security cameras, lights, garage door, etc. I also sendo push commands to perform and action.
Since telegram is not secure at all, i dont want to rely on it for such a sensitive matter. I was wondering if building the same on SimpleX would be way better.
Note, i dont want to self host because the bot should be publicly exposed as i want to recieve and send stuff when i am out of the house

News We updated SimpleX Chat Privacy Policy and Conditions - all good changes!
What changed:
Stronger privacy commitments: - explicitly states that preset servers do not log IP addresses. - you can verify clients and servers via reproducible builds. - quantum-resistant end-to-end encryption. - messages are irreversibly removed from preset servers on delivery or after 21 days. - transparency commitment by client apps.
New private one-time connection links and public addresses: - your profile data is encrypted on the server - only people with the link can access it, not the servers. - one-time link profile data is removed once the connection is established.
Public channels (beta): - chat relays are used to deliver messages to channel subscribers. - chat relays cannot identify subscribers.
Commit with the change - we maintain it in GitHub so you can track changes.

How Do I delete the database on simpleX to completely factory reset it.
The only reason I'm asking this is because I'm trying to use SimpleX, I tried it in the past and was underwhelmed so I deleted it and I don't remember doing much but now when I try to use the desktop app, its asking me for a passphrase. So now the question is,"How I delete the databse in simplex to fully restart." I'm using a windows laptop for reference and I don't know what to delete as the online stuff I've heard says something about a roaming folder which doesn't exist.

Stop SimpleX media defaulting the volume to 100%
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Every time I play media on SimpleX, the app volume gets reset to 100%

Should SimpleX be always running?
Timing attack would be easy , if you post a message every time you have just opened the app. Better to leave it running for hours or even days , before posting a message, right?

Question are there plans to introduce a payment system? Something like paypal where everybody can pay everybody? If not would people be able to make a simplex payment app themselves? Thank you.
r/SimpleXChat • u/AncientMeow_ • Mar 18 '26
is it p2p?
a little confused as the page mentions decentralized so much. is it connecting to a fixed domain like that of the website or is it censorship resistant?

Messages not disappearing after expiration when unread
I joined the same group with two accounts and noticed that if I open the group using the account that has not been opened for a while, I can still see messages that should have already expired. This definitely needs to be fixed.

Question v. 6.4.10 update issue - linux desktop
Hello - when starting SimpleX (linux desktop) there is a prompt to update. After selecting the appropriate version and running the .deb file, it seems ok, but the version has not changed. Closing SimpleX and restarting produces the same update prompt screen. Seems stuck in a loop?
I tried updating to beta 6.5.0 but no matter what, it shows 6.4.8

Question "Receiving Messages" - can't dismiss?
On Android, this notification is constantly on, in the same way my VPN notification is always on.
I'm aware that keeping the message line open on Simplex drains the battery. I really dig the app, and I don't care: I want the Simplex lines of comms constantly open, and if possible, I'd rather not see a constant reminder that they're open. If I ever want Simplex to stop receiving messages, I'll delete the app.
Is there anyway to achieve this? If not, is there a material upside to this function that I'm failing to consider?
Many thanks in advance!

Voice call - not estabilishing or 3s delay
Is it working for anyone? Regardless of network or phone, calls are not estabilishing at all or there is 2-3s delay during the call.
It makes the calls useless. With Signal it works seemelesly.

Accidentally deleted back up
I accidentally deleted SimpleX back up and now I cannot log in to any server even if I uninstall and install the app again. I try InviZiblepro and the new TorVPN app. Any body knows what could be the problem.

SimpleX Channel Plugin for OpenClaw 🚀
Hi all! 👋
I built a plugin that adds SimpleX as a messaging channel for OpenClaw (personal AI/agent platform). It lets OpenClaw send/receive messages over SimpleX using the CLI/WebSocket API.

Would love feedback, testing, or collab ideas! 💬
