Session is a messaging application that prioritizes privacy and security. It utilizes a decentralized network of servers to ensure that your messages cannot be leaked or sold. Additionally, Session's private routing protocols ensure that your messages are completely anonymous, meaning that no one can see who you are talking to, what you are saying, or even your IP address.
Privacy is the default setting on Session, meaning that every message is encrypted every time. The app takes privacy seriously and provides a safe and private space for you to chat with friends, family, or anyone in the world.
One of the key features of Session is its fully anonymous account creation process. Unlike other messaging apps, you do not need to provide a phone number or email to create an Account ID. This adds an extra layer of privacy and security for users.
Session's server network is decentralized, meaning there is no central point of failure or risk of data breaches. The app also does not store, track, or log any messaging metadata, ensuring that your conversations remain private.
In addition to these features, Session also offers closed groups for private, end-to-end encrypted group chats for up to 100 people. Users can also securely share voice snippets, photos, and files with Session's encryption and privacy protections. The app is also free and open-source, allowing users to verify its security for themselves. Session is built and maintained by the OPTF, Australia's first privacy tech not-for-profit organization.
For those interested in the technical side of Session, the app is available on GitHub for users to build from source, report bugs, or simply take a look at the code. With Session, users can take back their online privacy and communicate securely with others.
