About

Session is an end-to-end encrypted messenger that minimizes sensitive metadata, designed and built for people who want absolute privacy and freedom from any form of surveillance. Session accounts are completely anonymous. No phone number or email required. Session doesn’t collect data, so there’s nothing to leak. Send messages through our onion routing network and leave no trace. Session’s code has nothing to hide. Anyone can view, audit, and contribute. With no central point of failure, it’s harder to shut Session down. Talk to your friends or talk to the world. You decide. Closed groups let you talk to up to 20 friends at once, with the same encrypted protection as one-on-one chats. Got a bigger crowd? Use an open group to connect with as many people as you want. Sometimes, a text just isn’t enough. Voice messages let you send something a little more personal, so nothing gets lost in translation.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I found session 2 years ago when it was just put out and was in love, no sign up or logs, top notch encryption and u can dump and create new accounts as quick and easy as pushing a button. Session is the future.
  • The range of features and the actual current demonstrated capabilities and omissions are grand. Open source is critically important and their protocol is based upon tried and true protocols from safe developers. It's a shame you can't trust their situation as an entity - as all of this can become irrelevant immediately in the blink of an eye under a number of plausible - likely, even - scenarios. This weakness must be addressed.
  • Free and open source. End-to-end encrypted messenger. Decentralized. Doesn't require phone number or email. No meta data tracking.
  • Decentralized. E2e encrypted. No email or number required. P2p v.soon. Faster than tor. Easy interface.

Cons

  • It was buggy, but they were working on it. I also noticed something, called sentinel? A file that someone was trying to send me, in the past I've ran into it and believe it's a form of spyware, probably just the person I was chatting with, but idk...
  • You won't find privacy from apps developed in Australia or by Australians. Period. This is very suspicious and what is secure today may be very quickly made insecure and revelatory retrospectively in one quick patch. Do not trust any company at the mercy of Australian lawmakers. Because even they have no say over the matter if push comes to shove.
  • Not really a con of the app but Session is not really popular.
  • Design is not so cool as compare to signal or others.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Snapchat makes it super fun to share everyday moments through Snaps and Stories. The filters, Bitmojis, and AR effects are creative and constantly updated. I also like how easy it is to stay connected with friends without making everything public like other social apps. The app runs smoothly and the UI feels modern and friendly.
  • Snapchat is a popular social networking programme. It has a very simple and clean user interface. It allows you to easily trade photos and videos. It excels in person-to-person communication, whether through messaging or audio or video conversations, in addition to sharing with all contacts. The degree of safety and privacy provided to its consumers and their data is the most tempting part of Snapchat. Snapchat is one of the best ways to engage, and despite being on the market for some years, it is always being improved. Memories, Chat, Snap Map, Geofilters, Discover, and Lenses are among my favourite features.
  • - The best thing about Snapchat is that it is a very privacy-oriented app. - You get notified whenever someone takes a screenshot of your chat or stories. - There are lots of cool filters available that gets refreshed sporadically. - Its camera is always better than the native camera of the phone.
  • I love the ability to keep in touch with all of my friends in a group where we can send photos, videos, and memes.
  • - It is a very fun and enjoyable application to keep in contact with your friends and loved ones. - It has some unique and engaging features like snap and snaps scores. - It is a very private and security-oriented application that notifies you if someone takes a screenshot of your chats. - Stories and can be sent to your friends to let them know what you are up to.

Cons

  • Sometimes the app crashes on low-end Android devices, and features like Memories backup can take a long time to sync. I also wish there were more privacy customization options for saving chats and controlling screenshots.
  • The majority of the genuine audience for this programme is under the age of 18, and less mature and business audiences utilise it, so the market has a restricted and particular goal, and I may wish to recall these features for a different replica with commercial capabilities. An experienced adult and a corporate audience will be present.
  • - There is no live stream feature available on Snapchat.
  • I don't like the fact that when I save story or post a video it has to be less than a minute log or it cuts it up into individual videos to cause the video to be choppy.
  • - The for you page is not very relevant to the user preferences.
