How do you use SimpleX Chat?
- Download SimpleX Chat from the official site, simplex.chat, or the official phone store, checking the developer name.
- Open the app and use it without giving a number, username or email, since the project says it does not rely on a user identifier.
- Work out with each contact how to invite them to the chat, because the ease of use differs from other apps.
- Test with trusted contacts before relying on it in a trade with real value.
What are the limits and cautions?
- The community is smaller and the ease of use differs from other apps; many contacts may not have the app.
- No app removes metadata entirely, and the phone's operating system remains a relevant factor. Having no identifier is the project's own claim.
