Description

Session is a new breed of private messenger, built on a unique network of user-operated servers spread all over the world. With no central servers, Session can’t leak or sell your data. And with Session’s private routing protocols, your messages are completely anonymous. No one ever knows who you’re talking to, what you’re saying, or even your IP address.
• Fully anonymous account creation: No phone number or email needed to create an Account ID
• Decentralised server network: No data breaches, no central point of failure
• No metadata logging: Session doesn't store, track, or log your messaging metadata
• IP address protection: Device IP addresses are never exposed to the person you're talking to or the servers holding your data
• Closed groups: Private, end-to-end encrypted group chats for up to 100 people
• Secure attachments: Share voice snippets, photos, and files with Session's secure encryption and privacy protections
• Free and open-source: Don’t take our word for it — check Session's code yourself
Session is free as in free speech, free as in free beer, and free of ads and trackers. Session is built and maintained by the OPTF, Australia’s first privacy tech not-for-profit organisation. Take back your online privacy today — download Session.

Session Reviews

Apple Watch

Dustyx44 on

Apple Watch showing a preview of my chat. Seems to be no way to turn that off which is a privacy concern. Also, messages occasionally not making their way to the recipient. Could be due to low network coverage. You would expect it to give you the resend option (as it does with media) but not the case with text at times. Closing and reopening app is needed regularly to help solve combat this.

Overall pretty good

Overall a good app! Have found that sometimes it’s quite laggy and some messages won’t go through, even when signal/ internet is fine on both ends

Garbage. Don’t bother!

App wouldn’t send notifications. Contacted support and had to jump through hoops and do backflips in order to attempt a resolution. Still failed to function correctly and support ceased to respond to my emails. There’s absolutely no use for a messenger app that refuses to notify. Don’t waste your time.

Great app but issue at the moment

I’m trying to use the app but I can’t access any groups on my account

Now it’s a great app again

Wrote a review giving 3stars Nov 5 and stating how exasperating it was using an iPad in landscape mode, then having to physically turn the iPad to portrait mode to send links and comments. This was a feature of Sessions some 12months + back but disappeared for some reason. Well it’s back now 2 weeks after I posted the original review and I have upped my rating to 5stars, thanks to the developers honest response and action. Great app👍

I love it
