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

  • We frequently use Burnout when sharing confidential information because messages disappear after they're read. Large file sharing is another feature our team relies on regularly.
  • Security features like Remote Logout and Message Recall give us peace of mind. Voice and video calls are stable, and file sharing has been reliable for our remote teams.
  • The Forkout feature has been very useful for our team. We often need to send the same update to multiple groups, and this feature saves us from forwarding messages one by one. It's simple to use and helps ensure everyone gets the information at the same time.
  • We use different channels for each project, which keeps discussions organized. Screen sharing works well during demos, file sharing is quick, and the search feature makes it easy to find previous conversations.
  • It keeps all team conversations in one place and reduces email clutter. Screen sharing and file sharing work well, and the overall performance has been reliable.

Cons

  • Video calls can occasionally take a little longer to connect on slower networks.
  • The mobile app could switch between conversations a little faster. Overall Experience: The platform has worked well for our hybrid workforce. Everyone adapted quickly, and communication is now much more organized.
  • It took a little time for new team members to understand how Forkout works. A quick tutorial inside the app would be helpful.
  • The interface could look more modern, and additional integrations with project management tools would be helpful.
  • The interface could be more modern and a few additional third-party integrations would make it even better. Initial setup takes a little time but becomes easy afterward.
