Messaging & Voice-Video Calling app
An alternative to (and combining the best of) WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, and MySudo - done the Proton way, part of the Proton ecosystem, with the Proton interface.
• Likely based on the Signal platform
• Offered as a separate plan or as part of the other package offerings
• Does not require a phone number, but offers the option of Proton virtual numbers, and works with non-Proton virtual numbers
• End-to-end encryption in peer-to-peer communications
• Can call or message non-Proton numbers
• Offers multiple profiles, each with unique phone numbers
• Connects with others by Usernames or Handles or randomly generated alpha-numeric IDs like Session, while oncealing personal info, including name, phone number, IP address
• Group chats and calls
• Communities

In the context of future-proofing Proton as a communications app. voice is critical. text, done. The question is is Proton still focused on communications, as was its origin? IT would greatly develop its business subscription value by having an integrated phone system. Unfortunately, it is an entirely different branch of development and might be easier to acquire an existing stack.

A privacy-focused, zero-access encryption, end-to-end encryption instant messaging app inspired by Meta's WhatsApp and other instant messaging apps also have all the features available, such as WhatsApp's voice and video calls, chat lock option.

I would add those feature:
Votes like "polls" in group chats or a votes or just message that would reach multiple contacts selected once the message or the vote is created.
Add the Briar system just in case that can be activated at our own will.
It would be great if your apps could be interoperable with other open source apps. Like emails between Proton and RiseUp would be encrypted all the same.
Maybe talk with them to use common ways to encrypt but with out anyone having to abandoned their own way for more individual strength.It's like the concept of Euro as a common currency and not unique but each country would have their own original one.

This or further integration with signal, those using signal regularly generate system backup locally. You have to manually upload them, what if you could use an auto sync with proton drive as a secure backup. That would be really good and improve overall experience. But also the app like signal or discord is good too

I am disappointed SKYPE will be ending my VOIP service, I am still trying to find an affordable VOIP to landline cell net phone system. I know the phone companies charge highly for the interface... I need just one personal phone contact number, the business rate is much too high on teams and other such groupie systems....
