SimpleX Chat
As mentioned above, SimpleX Chat does not use any kind of identifier and is the first of its kind. As there are no user IDs or random phone numbers being used, privacy is redefined and to whom users should connect and communicate, is upto them. To start a private conversation, users can share their one-time QR code, which can be shared in person or as a video link, or they can connect with the help of the invitation link shared by the other.
There are four reasons why SimpleX Chat is the best platform in terms of privacy. The platform hides its user’s profile, contacts, and metadata from other observers and from the SimpleX Chat platform servers themselves. As there are no fixed identifiers for you, you are always protected from spam and abuse. SimpleX users have full control over their data, which are stored in their respective devices in a portable encrypted database format, that is only temporarily held by SimpleX. Finally, SimpleX has a decentralized platform, making it independent of other platforms. Users can use SimpleX Chat on their own servers and with servers provided by SimpleX.
