Instant notifications
Instant notifications!
Instant notifications are disabled!
To preserve your privacy, instead of push notifications the app has a SimpleX background service – it uses a few percent of the battery per day.
It can be disabled via settings – notifications will still be shown while the app is running.
In order to use it, please disable battery optimization for SimpleX in the next dialog. Otherwise, the notifications will be disabled.
Battery optimization is active, turning off background service and periodic requests for new messages. You can re-enable them via settings.
Periodic notifications
Periodic notifications are disabled!
The app fetches new messages periodically — it uses a few percent of the battery per day. The app doesn\'t use push notifications — data from your device is not sent to the servers.

How it works
How SimpleX works
Many people asked: if SimpleX has no user identifiers, how can it deliver messages?
To protect privacy, instead of user IDs used by all other platforms, SimpleX has identifiers for message queues, separate for each of your contacts.
You control through which server(s) to receive the messages, your contacts – the servers you use to message them.
Only client devices store user profiles, contacts, groups, and messages sent with 2-layer end-to-end encryption.

Incognito mode protects the privacy of your main profile name and image — for each new contact a new random profile is created.
It allows having many anonymous connections without any shared data between them in a single chat profile.
When you share an incognito profile with somebody, this profile will be used for the groups they invite you to.
To find the profile used for an incognito connection, tap the contact or group name on top of the chat.
