@kkarhan Yes I was aware of that one. That's where deniability comes in: on the official SimpleX client there is a hidden profile feature: to display hidden profile you type in a password you set previously but you type it into the chat search bar so there is no indication in the GUI that you have any hidden profile. I think each hidden profile can have their own associated password so you can type in a password and say there you go thats all my hidden profiles when actually there are more
@UrbanCityCowboy I would love to know more about how you used it and other ways that can be used. What came to my mind was to take down a printed advertisement from a community bulletin board, change the QR code for their website to an encrypted QR code then place the new copy back on the board so someone else could retrieve that message at a later time without broadcasting any metadata over monitored networks. This would make it much more difficult to know who is talking to each other.

Simplex also has a qr scanner so you can smt similar: post a group link to a printed page somewhere locally and as long as you dont need to rotate the link it will continue to work. Optionally you could periodically rotate the link and refresh the poster
A big news for SimpleX Chat app security:
Android APKs released on GitHub and F-Droid are now 100% reproducible!
It means that you can verify that the app is secure, even if the download site was hacked.
From v6.5 our release process is:
1) build Android apps on two independent systems and confirm they are 100% identical;
2) cryptographically "sign" them;
3) add signature files to the release page.
v6.5 beta.3 release: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/releases/tag/v6.5.0-beta.3
