from the team:

Hi everyone,

We’re happy to announce that the new, rewritten Proton Mail Android app is now available to all Proton users on the Google Play store!

For everyone on de-Googled Android devices, you can find the APK file here.

We’ve improved performance and reliability, with up to a 5x reduction in crashes since we started rolling out the updated version. Since the first beta, we’ve added back key features:

🗒️ create and manage your contact group lists

🔑 send password-protected emails (i.e. protect your communication with non-Proton accounts)

💣 set an expiration date to your emails

🗓️ jump directly from your inbox to your Proton Calendar

🌗 switch between light and dark mode

🔒 protect the app with biometric lock

This development provides a solid foundation for delivering new features faster in the future.

We’re looking forward to your feedback, and we’re keeping an eye on our UserVoice to help us decide which features to prioritize next.

Best,

The Proton Team

    Did you entirely rewrite the application and then release the update with the update log: “* Stability improvements related to message sending.” ???

    Edit: to cancel out the negative sentiment, good job. I personally don’t really interact with the app enough to notice that it’s changed, but if it needed to be done and you did it right, I commend you! Just seems a bit weird that the “what’s new” message is so bland. Is it even for the most recent version? The release on GitHub has a completely different changelog.
