    106 - Simplex Chat Private Messenger

    · The Watchman Privacy Podcast

    Gabriel speaks with Evgeny, the founder of Simplex Chat. Simplex is a recent and still-developing private messaging app with a slant toward privacy over convenience. Evgeny gives his critical thoughts on other private messengers, explains how privacy software can fund itself, exposes the myth of disappearing messages, and gets into some of the finer details of how Simplex Chat has made different choices from its competitors. In particular Simplex gets rid of accounts altogether, allowing you to create as many β€œprofiles” as you want that are localized to your device. The result is, as Evgeny says, Simplex knows nothing about its users.
