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.

Privacy Achievement Unlocked

Best messaging app for me! No phone number/email address needed. Very easy to use and the UI having a minimalistic design is really great. You could easily toggle on/off incoming/outgoing calls. Chatting and privacy together in one app. Great Job Oxen Foundation! Keep up the good work! Addendum: Please fix the notification alert. Most of my device where I use session (iOS, MacOS, Windows) does not send me notifications whenever a new message arrives. I invited some of my friends to use session and they are also experiencing the same problem. Hoping you could fix it. Thank you so much!

Session is wonderful except …

It doesn’t seem to mesh with with my VPN of choice, I’ve tried to mess with the two but it just refuses to work. A bit annoying to constantly switch it on and off, and it defeats the point a bit. But otherwise a lovely thing to use on its own.

Цензура

Приложение отличное и замысел тоже , НО сейчас его легко могу блокировать в странах высокой цензурой . Просьба научиться скрывать трафик session от цензуры .

Totally unreliable! Doesn't send or receive anything!

There is no path and the app is useless. I can't communicate at all with it. Definitely not something you should be using if you want reliable communication.

Bug report

United States

When disappearing messages are enabled on iPhone X and X🅂, the icon to make a phone call disappears. You can still make a call by clicking in the area where the icon should be.

how to stop recording??

Continues to time out: “Failed to send message, the request timed out (NetworkError.Timeout)”

Photo sending buggy and laggy

Half the time I’m getting network timeout errors. Seems pretty lame for a messaging app!
