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 a Session 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.

Nice app
Hi, this app could be fun once you get used to it. The reason is I’m giving 3 stars it’s fun but having issues now. Some reason my app send/receive takes awhile in my chats. I’ve got my setting on fast but the app having issue anyway to fix it.
Why did my path turn red?
My path after months of use turned red. Now I can’t send messages.
Endless “unable to sync” errors
The app is almost unusable now. Constantly having to force quit and relaunch to get messages to show up. Endless “unable to sync” errors on all the messages I try to send. Audio and video calls don’t connect if one party is using a VPN. Sometimes text messages take 12 hours to arrive. When I try to share a link from another apps “share to session button” it glitches, says something about lack of nodes and the recipient doesn’t receive the link even though it shows sent on my end. Please update so this app can run on an Apple Watch. Please add easy ability for users to create relay nodes using a raspberry pi and a prebuilt ISO image file to burn to an SD card.
Poor connection issues
Messages appear to not get sent or received even when my connection on my phone and other apps is fine.
Suggestions/requests
1. Option to enter a separate PIN different from device PIN when opening app. 2. Customize auto-delete messages by time. 3. Easy way to donate directly within app. App works mostly well as intended and no major bugs to report.
Great for privacy - when it works
I almost only use this app because of the privacy it offers. Yes, I’d like to be able to edit the user’s name BEFORE they accept the chat so I remember who they are instead of looking like an idiot and asking what their username/profile name was again. Sure there’s the occasional issue where you don’t get notifications that you received a message. But now?!? The last couple of weeks it’s been barely working. Messages sit in “sending” for up to 15 mins! Before finally going through. And I keep getting syncing, failed to sync messages. I uninstalled the windows app - didn’t change anything. Uninstalled reinstalled the iOS app - thought it worked as all my messages went through - then the hang up started again within the hour. Other users I talk to say they have the same issue. Their messages are stuck in a massive hang before finally going through. You have a great service offering privacy in a time and world where privacy doesn’t exist anymore. Please fix the issues though.
NEW UPDATE BROKE THE APP
Hello after your most recent update. The app is almost unusable. Especially on iPhone. Every contact I have is experiencing the same wide variety of issues. Below are a couple of the problems. 1) Red light regardless of cell or wifi conditions 2) Yellow light regardless of cell or wifi conditions 3) Messages failing an or not syncing 4) Messages sent out of chronological order 5) App crashes frequently 6) Notification not reliable (again)
App crash when launching
Session always crash, Fix it ASAP. model: iPhone SE 2nd Gen System: iOS 17.5.1
Stopped working
The app stopped connecting it shows green but I can’t send or receive messages anymore it seemed to slowly start getting worse over the last few days and now it’s completely unusable
