It would be nice to be able to filter for the types of servers instead of having to scroll through the countries and cities looking for one that has the right icon. Especially for Tor, of which there are so few. (Vote here for more Tor servers: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932836-proton-vpn/suggestions/51640282-more-tor-servers)

Dear Proton,
Please *do not* create another chat app. We don't need more fragmentation in that space. If you want to support encrypted chats, throw your weight behind Signal. Promote them, donate to them, contribute to their code, maybe there's a way to integrate Signal (the actual app and platform, not just the protocol) into Proton apps, I don't know. But please don't create yet another chat app. We need privacy and *interoperability* in chat apps, not another silo.
And to be honest, I worry that you're overextending yourselves. Some parts of Proton's existing apps need a good deal of polish in UI and UX compared to other apps on the market. Focus on making your own apps amazing, not trying to get into the saturated field of chat apps.
Thanks.
Lumo currently requires a Lockdown exception to work (not just sync conversations, but to work at all) when iOS is in Lockdown mode. Even if I generally trust Proton, seeing a non-essential app tell me that it needs elevated privileges to work with my security configuration is exactly the kind of behavior users have been taught to be suspicious about.
Apple is also broadly encouraging users to turn on Lockdown (https://tech.yahoo.com/ai/apple-intelligence/articles/apple-sends-spyware-alerts-users-212400627.html) to defend against spyware. Some of those users may get scared into enabling Lockdown mode without knowing what an exception is, how to manage it, or the technical reasons for it. But if they're familiar with other secure apps like Signal, they will wonder why Lumo can't store encrypted chats in Lockdown but Signal can, and they'll be confused by the conflict between using a secure, privacy-focused app with a device setting that they enabled for security and privacy. This is both a usability and an optics issue.
