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/

A new ml injector is an amazing tool that offers tons of features to your Android device. It is safe and easy to use.https://apktami.com/apk/new-ml-skin-injector-1

One last piece I would like to see is a Proton Secure Texting App & allow it also to send folks pictures from your ProtonDrive Account.
I would feel so much safer using it from Proton to communicate with my friends, family, & clients.

I like Proton enough I would pay for a messaging platform that would not be exclusive so that other users have to be on the same platform, like Signal. That kills the deal for me.

How do you reset your password on protonmail

Also just looking for any update on this - is this still planned?

Any news on the Hangouts/Chat feature? Our Google contract expires at the end of the year and I want to move our company over but Hangouts is vital for our comms so it will stop us from moving over. You have ticked every box bar this one... Please

Any updates? Simply a matriy homeserver?

There are already tons of good alternatives. I don't think we need another one.

the integration of an instant messaging application such as threema; no registration, just an activation code that is renewed every time you uninstall, end-to-end encryption, no storage on servers only on the local device such as the app session, the files received remain encrypted until the user decides to decrypt, The appropriate thing is to be able to link proton drive and two-factor authentication, you can refine the idea and this can be incredible

7 years down the road...nothing...

"Possibly in 2016."
Checks calendar, 2023. 7 years latter...
why is this still marked as planed?
