Have a chat app to add to the family of privacy only apps to proton.

The lack of this feature is the only thing stopping me from upgrading my plan.

Proton Chat would be a very welcomed service to the proton family of apps and services! TRUST is of vital importants and chats are a very big part of our communications!

Have a secure and private chat app within proton mail

My guess is that Proton is waiting the EU to impose interoperability of messaging apps, means you would be able use any app you want independently of the one used by your contacts.

No thanks, this is already addressed by the likes of Threema, Signal, Session, Simplex, TOX, etc.

We don't need another ecosystem and especially not another walled garden (do you really want another anti-competitive entity like Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc?).

It would be a waste of Proton's time and resources, which should be focused on making their existing products (really, it can be argued that they have already become quite bloated) complete and functional.

would really like to see this supporting mesh (BT p2p) for offline (especially with existing contacts), as well as voice/video calling - currently I like Telegram and we use it as a family but being able to switch to a more secure, single, messaging platform (especially if users can be me@mycustomdomain.com) would be a great feature

This is needed.. I think proton would do a good job at this. Why hasn't it come out.. Says planned since 2016... I would love to have my messaging app to be apart of my every thing else..

A proton in-inbox chat like google chats/ hangouts
Would be really useful for talking quickly to friends or co-workers
Would love to see this soon!

With a free and secure protocol like Matrix or XMPP

would love to be able to replace Telegram/Signal/Discord with one secure solution that also integrates contacts with Mail/Calendar etc and is less full of the spam and web3 pyramid schemes that plague telegram and discord

I would prefer a texting app. That is signal before the major update.
Its difficult for majority of the people to use two apps. One signal and the other for folks not on signal.
Google msg services uses RCS but only where it can. By default it uses sms.

My idea for complete

Do ProtonTalk for free, decentralized SMS/MMS/Web Talk, can use with or without connection.

Signal : is centralized and metadata are not encrypted.
Olvid use aws Amazon and not open source (server side)
Berty good but too slow.

ProtonTalk you can launch with yo choose in P2P or in centralized with secure connection ProtonVPN and Tor network.

You can login to you account (without record or history on server, just for chech subscription plan) or use invite account for free.

If you want you can import your contact from Protonmail.

Perhaps acquire or partner with an app called Signal if you were to do something?

ProtonChat should be free for use with free accounts. Even better if you provide a web interface that allows non registered users to use the app (or with some really simple registration mechanism)

Session is better.

This is hard. I rather see resources spent on a productivity suite.

So, I see there was a plan to build a Proton messaging app. However, are there any updates as to if this will come to life for use?

Alternative existe and are more secure like olvid (https://olvid.io), where no personnal data are collected. They use a unique technology where no directory server is used : https://olvid.io/technology/en/
