Hey, I know in the actually we have discord and slack and WhatsApp. But I really thinks that Proton can create a hibrid option to create really secure encripted chats!

WhatsApp is simple chat tool but I think proton should do this inspired on discord because you only would need your mail to chat in secure chats. Discord is famouse on the Gamer community but it’s a potentially really extrem good tool for business.

If proton do a hybrid app like he first tab would be normal chat and the second option would be using chat servers then I think Proton can create a really good chat tool using Discord as inspiration

I really like Signal for secure text but would prefer it, or something even better to come from Proton folks I would trust it a whole lot more and I know you would do a great job.

Threema does exactly that, replace hangouts with an encrypted alternative :)

Should use the Matrix protocol as per:
https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-feedback/suggestions/34326823-implement-matrix-protocol-for-encrypted-chat-and-c

For the same reason that you wouldn't want to build an email service that could only talk to other people using that same email provider

That's very good idea! I would love to see Proton Messenger in this time. It will be more focused on privacy, simple, smart and mainly another alternative to Facebook and Google cartel.

We have Signal, so what is the point?

My friends swear by WhatsApp which I do not support membership and therefore complete dependence on FaceBook. Can ProtonMail one day provide the same service as WhatsApp, the security and independence that ProtonMail brings?

Yes, please for crying out loud! Wire- the only end2end encrypted chat that works on all platforms and doesn't require phone/ phone number was acquired by some US data mining company and secretly changed their privacy policy.
At this point, there is no free cross-platform chat that can be reasonably trusted in regard to privacy protection.

I would also appreciate some
kind of messenger service build by proton mail. The problem is that many of my friends use WhatsApp, so being able to communicate with them would not be possible.

I want to talk to someone currently on Hangouts, using a secure platform but the only information I get is a female's name in Dallas, TX and go to Wal-Mart and send money.
No routing/transit number.
What should I do?

Have you considered partnering with Wire another ethical company

I have seen on gmail that there is a chat called hangouts. I would love to have a protonmail hangouts that I am able to chat with gmail users.

I would like the same except that I would like to hangout with non-protonmail users.

We have been waiting for a messenger built-in in the mail or separately. Please do.
**Yes, there are a lot of messengers right now, but you can trust with confidence two or three. If the chat was inside the mail, That would solve the issue.
There are friends who do not use instant messengers at all. From the principle. Only protonmail is trusted. This is already a synonym for safety and reliability.

I would like to have protonMessages app for SMS management and syncing them in cloud.
I'm afraid my SMSes are not so secure with default application.
It would be also nice to see my SMSes in browser on laptop.

Wickr is an incredible messenger app. It uses 4096 bit encryption like proton mail allows. I use it a lot.

Dont miss the milestone. The only reason I cant get my friends from Gmail to Proton is because Hangouts is so easy and convenient. Convenience trumps security (unless your wife finds out about your other family)

In the mail program for PC or Android there should be a messenger option. In my opinion, we normally write emails to each other, but if we see someone writing back immediately, we might want to switch to a messenger/chat and write like whatsapp/telegram ....

An option: after the end of the chat (messenger mode) everything we wrote would be included or not (optionally) in the message sent to both participants of the conversation.

Of course, the messenger option is only for conversation within Protonmail users.

I think that no other email client has such option.

sorry but it will be in Polish. Protonmail has working people from Poland.

W programie pocztowym na PC lub Androida powinna byc opcja messengera. Wg mnie normalnie piszemy sobie emaile, ale jak widzimy ze ktos odpisuje od razu, to moglibysmy chciec sie przelaczyc na komunkatora/chat i pisac jak whatsapp/telegramie ...

A z opcji, ze po zakonczonym chat (trybie messengera) wszystko co napisalismy znalazloby sie lub nie (opcjonalnie) w wiadomosci wyslane do obu uczestnikow rozmowy.

Oczywiscie opcja messengera tylko do rozmowym wewnatrz Protonmail.

Mysle, ze takiej opcji to nie ma nikt inny klient email ze zintegrowanym messengerem.

Pozdrawiam

I'm waiting for this ProtonChat (secure & encrypted) from a long time ago. It would encourage my contacts to start using ProtonMail and its services. This ProtonChat is a must-have feature, IMHO.
