from the team:
Hi everyone,
We’re happy to announce that the new, rewritten Proton Mail Android app is now available to all Proton users on the Google Play store!
For everyone on de-Googled Android devices, you can find the APK file here.
We’ve improved performance and reliability, with up to a 5x reduction in crashes since we started rolling out the updated version. Since the first beta, we’ve added back key features:
🗒️ create and manage your contact group lists
🔑 send password-protected emails (i.e. protect your communication with non-Proton accounts)
💣 set an expiration date to your emails
🗓️ jump directly from your inbox to your Proton Calendar
🌗 switch between light and dark mode
🔒 protect the app with biometric lock
This development provides a solid foundation for delivering new features faster in the future.
We’re looking forward to your feedback, and we’re keeping an eye on our UserVoice to help us decide which features to prioritize next.
Best,
The Proton Team
How about unified push support? I’ve never gotten push notifications from the proton app since I’ve been using it in 2018 because of the fact that I do not have Google Play Services installed, so I have to actually be like a caveman and manually check my email several times a day.
Don’t worry, they’re keeping an eye on it! But you see, people who are serious about their privacy are a minority and not really their focus!
