add an instant messenger within the app among proton mail users only

Yes!
Like WhatsApp, texting, video calls. And not associated with Big Tech such as Google and FB.
Wish I could add my remaining 6 votes here.
Thank you.

I have just installed the Proton browser, but found out that Netflix does not support it, Yes, I have followed the error message, no joy. Shame, nice browser.

Can’t wrap my head around people who go out of their way to trash feature proposals because they personally won’t use it. Do you also go to charity events tell everyone not to donate because you’re not affected? Signal(based in usa) requires a phone, Threema requires money, doesn’t have linux app...
If you’re not a fan of this idea just stick your votes somewhere else.

Tons of existing services already exist. Don't join the melee.

A chat option like hangouts would go a long way. If this feature is added It should be implemented into the website and not an extension from the chrome web store.

There is something called "Signal" and Threema" exactly for "secure end-to-end encrypted" chat and open source code.

Agreed! This would be nice to see.

Agree with all them that write that exist Threema, but ProtonMail should do fusion with Threema for a better chat platform, maybe with elliptic curve keys and integrating ProtonVPN for a better "security".

ProtonMail+Threema+ProtonVPN= Fat Gogeta

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
