About SimpleX Chat
SimpleX Chat stabilizes its 6.5 line, routing link previews through SOCKS for privacy.
SimpleX Chat, the messenger built without user identifiers, is rolling out its 6.5.x line. Recent changelog activity is dominated by per-architecture armv7a build tags that merge stable into the Android branch — release plumbing rather than new capability. The one substantive change sits in the 6.5.0 beta: routing link previews through the SOCKS proxy when enabled, plus a UI to switch toolbar position.
