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 a Session 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.

Ratings and Reviews
Great
Hello, thank you for developing such a good project. However, there are some missing advantages. For example. When i delete specific chat, i also lost contact. There should be some option to delete only messages not contacts, or divide it to 2 section. One contacts second messages and when i delete something from messages i still have contact. On a mac it works like this. Still its little creepy, cause you have to confirm contact every time, you delete messages, but it works. I know, there is a self distruction, i can set it for 5 seconds, but thats not the solution. Also , it would be great if you could delete that chat not only for you, but also for the other participant/s.
Thank you very, very much and wish you all best
Developer Response ,
Thanks for your feedback. Please make sure to leave at least 1 message in your conversation to avoid the contact being removed when using disappearing messages. All the next messages can be deleted without you losing your contact and having to re-add them time and time again.

Thanks for your feedback and support.
Good app with bugs
The concept is great and everything would be great if the app didn’t fail to load new messages and send a notification.
It happens not only to me but also to a lot of people that they get a text but it doesn’t load until they don’t open the specific chat. It fails to receive real time messages quite often I don’t know why, but I’m not the only one with these issues
