SimpleX is private only now while small, and that is changing now that they have VC funding. The fact is that you are using their servers and their client, therefore trusting but not verifying that communications are truly private.

There is really no guarantee that the server you are trusting is running the same code as available on github.

Oddly enough nostr is more private, since there exist so many server implementations and hundreds of servers to choose from. Gets difficult to pin IP address and messages are no possible to decrypt since too many separate tools are involved.
