+ Many users asked: if SimpleX has no user identifiers, how can it know where to deliver messages?
+
+
+ To deliver mesages, instead of user IDs used by all other platforms, SimpleX uses temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers of message queues, separate for each of your connections — there are no long term identifiers.
+
+
+ You define which server(s) to use to receive the messages, your contacts — the servers you use to send the messages to them. Every conversation is likely to use two different servers.
+
+
+ This design prevents leaking any users' metadata on the application level. To further improve privacy and protect your IP address you can connect to messaging servers via Tor.
+
+
+ Only client devices store user profiles, contacts and groups; the messages are sent with 2-layer end-to-end encryption.
