Description

Session is a new breed of private messenger, built on a unique network of user-operated servers spread all over the world. With no central servers, Session can’t leak or sell your data. And with Session’s private routing protocols, your messages are completely anonymous. No one ever knows who you’re talking to, what you’re saying, or even your IP address.

• Fully anonymous account creation: No phone number or email needed to create an Account ID

• Decentralised server network: No data breaches, no central point of failure

• No metadata logging: Session doesn't store, track, or log your messaging metadata

• IP address protection: Device IP addresses are never exposed to the person you're talking to or the servers holding your data

• Closed groups: Private, end-to-end encrypted group chats for up to 100 people

• Secure attachments: Share voice snippets, photos, and files with Session's secure encryption and privacy protections

• Free and open-source: Don’t take our word for it — check Session's code yourself

Session is free as in free speech, free as in free beer, and free of ads and trackers. Session is built and maintained by the OPTF, Australia’s first privacy tech not-for-profit organisation. Take back your online privacy today — download Session.

Current 2.6 version media file sending broken

For the better part of two weeks, since the version before the 2.6 version, the App has been choking trying to send and receive media files, be they pics sent from the photo library, or files from the file picker. It gets stuck trying to send and receive, using a lot of battery in the process.
Absolutely no feedback or status updates from the developers, that I’ve seen.

Needs work

Session has become so slow and glitching constantly losing friend requests have herd this from many people needs looked into because at the moment a computer running 95 would be quicker

Worked great then....?

Recovery phrase doesn't work with updated iPhone. Keeps crashing. Lost all my session IDs and chats. Please fix this bug.
