Session is an Android application that prioritizes user privacy and security. It is an end-to-end encrypted messenger that minimizes sensitive metadata.
Security
This utility offers users a variety of benefits dedicated to freedom from any form of surveillance. Session accounts are completely anonymous, no phone number or email is required. Moreover, the app does not save or collect data, so there is nothing to leak. The IP address of your device is never exposed to the person you are talking to.
In addition, all messages are sent through Session’s onion routing network and leave no trace on the Internet. Since this platform is decentralized, it is almost impossible to block it. The application is open-source software that allows various developers to make additional changes and improvements.
Communication
It is possible to exchange messages as well as send voice snippets, photos, and files. You can create groups that help you talk to up to 100 users at once, with the same protection as in personal chats.
Conversations in this app are end-to-end encrypted, just as in most private messengers. However, when you use Session, the personal data of your interlocutors are also protected. Session keeps your chats private, secure, and anonymous. Please note that sometimes you need to check the identity of the person you’re talking to via a trusted third-party verification service.
