About

The first messenger without user IDs. Other apps have user IDs: Signal, Matrix, Session, Briar, Jami, Cwtch, etc. SimpleX does not, not even random numbers. This radically improves your privacy. 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 e2e encryption.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Security. Anonymous presence. Encryption. Availability for Windows 64, Android, iOS, and even the terminal.

Cons

  • Not too easy the first time. It may be a little hard to start with it when one is used to playing with another messaging app.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Super secured app with end-to-end encryption, that even Wickr can't see my data. Because of the security, illegal folks started to abuse it. Now Amazon has put curb on the abuse and promoting as an enterprise grade product with AWS Support.
  • Wickr is an excellent way to get end to end encryption for communicating safely with business associates without worry of your conversations getting intercepted.
  • It's the best internal (inbound) communication tool for SMBs to collaboratively work and communicate using the unified software. The feature I'm using the most is its file transfer and video call. It helped me to stay connected while working remotely.
  • Wickr makes team communication more professional than other tools we tried. It helped every employee to stay on the same page for team collaboration. The file transfer, screen share and instant messaging works great.
  • Wickr application offers multi-platform support. It allows us to communicate and share files with project teams. The video calling quality is clean and works great on bad connections. Instant messaging and voice calling option.

Cons

  • Few integrations - I guess it will grow, now Amazon owns it.
  • Linking with associates can be cumbersome and retrieving past conversations is purposely impossible.
  • Quality of video conferencing is slightly on the lower side
  • Nothing so far we enjoyed Wickr software features.
  • It worked great for me. Nothing to share about cons.
