I’ve been trying to get answers from Proton for literal months concerning critical functionality issues with their mobile Android client. Messages are often truncated / missing data; clearly, there’s a disconnect between the cached version of the message and the message the user sees. Unfortunately, every attempt to resolve this with support is met with boilerplate “try our beta app” at best, ghosting at worst.
I have supported Proton as a paid user since 2018. It would be nice to think that they value their early adopters, but… honestly… their actions suggest otherwise.
Edit: Proton acknowledges the issue, offers no timeline for a fix:
Please be informed that the issue has been reported and our developers are aware, they are look for fixing it in one of the future updates of the app. Unfortunately, we cannot provide an ETA on when the permanent fix will be available.
We did try the beta app, a few times. Generally we notice it on the other end; the recipient (especially one external to Proton) gets a truncatesd message or rarely, an empty one. I am 90% certain it has to do with the way Proton saves drafts before sending; I’d bet that it is not verifying the displayed version (user’s version) against the last draft.
That sounds like a good deduction
Very strange. I’ve used Proton roughly as long as you have, and have never had any of these issues with the Android client. I send emails from my phone all the time, even important ones.
Regardless, Proton acknowledges the issue:
Not exactly a stellar reply, given that their business revolves around their email offering.
