Very important note that 90% of users forget: There is no point using encrypted messanging apps if you use the default Keyboard app on your phone, that is already uploding every keystroke.

Before you think changing messanging app, change the damn keyboard to open-source first!

I like SimpleX for not really any reason besides their ID system.

1. You’re allowed multiple profiles, so like a work profile, business profile, anonymous profile etc.
2. You can only connect with an invitation. This is a huge preventative spam measure. You can give anyone specific a 1-time invitation to chat with you. Or you can use an invitation that can be voided at any time without losing any of your connections. So add it to a website, and then at some point if it gets out there, you can kill it and spin up a new one. You have no phone number or any other identifier. Just invitations.

It’s a very novel approach I’ve not seen elsewhere.
