New in v5.6:

  1. Quantum resistant end-to-end encryption in direct chats (BETA).
    It can be enabled for the new contacts by Post-quantum E2EE toggle in dev tools, and for the existing contacts - both users need to tap Allow PQ encryption in contact information page (and the toggle in dev tools should be enable for this button to be available).
    Once quantum resistant shared secret is agreed, there will be a message indicating it - it takes about 2-3 messages from each side to be sent in turns before it gets enabled.
    Read more about end-to-end encryption in SimpleX Chat here: https://simplex.chat/blog/20240314-simplex-chat-v5-6-quantum-resistance-signal-double-ratchet-algorithm.html

  2. App data migration.
    As suggested by one of SimpleX Chat users in our users group, you can now migrate all data from one device to a new app installation by uploading it to the configured XFTP relays and then scanning QR code from the new device – choose Migrate to another device from the app settings and Migrate from another device on the first screen after installing the app.

  3. Use the app during the audio and video calls.
    Now you can continue using the app, with small video if it's a video call.

Also in this version:

  • admins can block a member for all other members.
  • much faster leaving and deleting groups.
  • filtering chats no longer includes muted chats with unread messages.
  • reduced memory usage when sending large files.
  • desktop: scrollbars in all views with the scrolling - finally!
  • iOS:
    • fixed rendering glitches with messages and context menus.
    • added Hungarian interface language.

The blog post with the announcement is coming on 3/23/2024.
