As a much safer alternative to whatsapp than the other options out there I wanted to use deltachat. But it seems like this is somehow not working due to the security level in protonmail.
So would it be possible to build an delta chat client app - maybe within the email app - that could handle delta chat from inside protomail and so provide also a VERY safe chat option?

I think it would be great to add social features such as political or sports or animal lover groups. Also newsfeed would awesome as well so people can voice their opinion on issues from local to national.

I trust Proton over signal, also obvs since fb go whatsapp its a no go.

I am a protonmail paid use, along with protonvpn, I would love a secure messaging app even if its paid

Protonmail & VPN are great. After what I read recently on The Verge, I fear Signal Messenger can not be trusted because they are trying to convince their boss to develop ways to identify users and evict them from their platform if they do not like the way the user is using the messenger.

With that in mind, it would be great if Proton would develop an encrypted SMS free from potential "identify & censor" policies.

Hoping to resurface this feature request in light of the current spotlight issue of WhatsApp and the migration to Signal and Telegram. In investigating running my own instance of prosody, ejabberd, etc, I've deemed it too important to risk blowing. I could (and would) pay $10/month to matrix.org to host ens. I'd rather pay Proton an additional ~$5/month to integrate xmpp.

I wish to have an secure mail / messenger service with a new technology to send message from one proton account to another, without using the e-mail adress to prevent from spam.

Excellent idea. Encrypted user to user! I truly appreciate your service to keep info private. I have all my tax clients using your service to keep their info private.

Whatsapp users are migrating en masse to Signal, which I’ve been using for awhile. Yasha Levine posted a warning a few days ago that Signal was/is secretly funded by the U.S. government. This is very disturbing if true. So..... I would love for Protonmail to develop a private messaging app.

A lot of people are starting to look for something like this along with email, storage, etc. If you can put it all in one place it would help. I have a handful of friends looking for solutions and this would bring more on.

Alla luce degli ultimi avvenimenti circa la privacy di WA, sarebbe opportuno offrire analoga app su Proton.

This feels like a waste of time. There are a ton of other great encrypted chat applications out there already (Signal/Telegram/etc).

How would this differ from Signal?

U know chatrooms

Will real-time encrypting/decrypting bog down the chat and introduce too much lag or latency? It shouldn't if this is done at each end and there shouldn't be all that much text to process.

Also why hasn't anything been done? This idea was first brought up five years ago. There's a golden opportunity for ProtonMail at the moment with people leaving WhatsApp in their droves.

encrypted instant messenger

Yes please ! I was also looking for that app

This sounds great to me!

A service like what’s app with out Facebook tracing you. Just like proton mail. Would’ve wounderful

I've seen a couple services offering this, a "chat view" for email threads:

Basically, emails in a thread displayed as if they were messages in a chat app -this makes ongoing conversations via email with another person soooo much readable without all the metadata noise in between

Better yet, when used with other ProtonMail users, you would have a instant E2E "chat app" without installing yet another chat app!

I'd love to have this :) Pretty please? ;) Thanks!
