Managing Your Data

Automatic message deletion

Here you can choose to delete messages from your local chat database after a set period of time.

Please note: This option does not delete messages for other users, only for you. This option is set independently for each chat profile.

To open your chat database settings:

By default, database passphrase is random, you have to set it manually to be able to export it.

Here you can allow the system to back up app data, wherever it is configured. A database passphrase must be set to use this.

Here you can export the chat database to a file.

Here you can import the chat database from a file.

Here you can delete your chat database. WARNING: Results in a loss of all your SimpleX Chat data! Unless you have just exported the chat database.

You can delete all sent and received files and media stored in the app via this option, without deleting the messages.
