Potential issues with Simplex Chat (German but can be translated mostly with FF translate)
Potential issues with Simplex Chat (German but can be translated mostly with FF translate)
Ein paar Tage lang habe ich den Messenger SimpleX getestet. Meine Eindrücke möchte ich nachfolgend wiedergeben. SimpleX lässt sich über…
Summary: Simplex Chat uses a bit of battery and doesn't have a way to visibly see a contact has changed.
That's quiet an old review. The most obvious concern: Verifying a contact has been implemented. As you can see in the Messenger-Matrix by the same Author.
I still genuinely don't know how to do this. Contact verification works within a 1-1 chat, but it's unclear whether it's the same contact in a group chat.
For example:
- Open a group chat that you have a friend in
- Tap their avatar, bringing up their contact info
- Tap "Verify Security Code" and take note of the value
- Tap Back, then tap "Send direct message"
- In your DM screen, tap their avatar at the top, bringing up their contact info
- Tap "Verify security code"
It's a different code for me.
You know that review is 17 months old right?
I'm aware
Well I don't understand linking to a review of an outdated version.
Simplex has its issues, fixes are on their way
I'm actually surprised to see that the battery and contact change are their biggest issues, for it would be many more other things
If this is for version 4.2.2, I would be interested in a similiar write up for version 5.6 or later.
