The emergence of a new generation messenger

In this context, SimpleX Chat and Element have emerged as next-generation communication tools that fundamentally rethink the concepts of "security" and "privacy."

SimpleX Chat: Ultimate anonymity without even an ID

SimpleX is a messaging app with a revolutionary design where even user IDs and account information do not exist.

Message exchanges only temporarily relay through the server, and no history or user information is stored on the server at all. Even key exchange information is deleted immediately after use.

In other words, even if the smartphone is physically seized, there are no traces left of "who" talked with "whom" and "what" was discussed, providing very high anonymity and resistance to analysis.

Element: Decentralized and self-manageable flexible design

Element is a messaging app based on a decentralized network called the "Matrix protocol."

Its feature lies in users setting up their own servers (home servers) and managing them completely by themselves. Since users can decide everything about message storage and deletion, it is characterized by very easy privacy control.

It also supports end-to-end encryption and is developed as open source, making it excellent in reliability and transparency.

It is somewhat specialized for general users, but it is already highly regarded among security-first groups and engineers.
