Too bad that simplex is buggy and doesn't work, or else I would rant how proton requires a phone number to signup and the server side of the app is centralised and proprietary.

Unfortunately as things are now, signal is the only e2ee app (that supports voice calls) that works.

SimpleX works well for me. What problems have you had with it?

[–] sefra1@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

The main problem is when the app stops sending or receiving messages until I restart it under Settings > Restart. It's easy to spot when it's not sending because I see a clock icon on the sent messages instead of the checkmarks. Easy solution is to restart it. The main issue is when the app needs to be restarted on the other side, when that happens I need to contact my correspondent via some other app to tell them to restart simplex.

I've had this issue for years.

Seems to work ok on the computer tho.
