Session – Private Messenger for iOS
About Session – Private Messenger
Session is a new breed of private messenger, built on a unique network of user-operated servers spread all over the world. With no central servers, Session can’t leak or sell your data. And with Session’s private routing protocols, your messages are completely safe. No trackers, no leaks — send messages, not metadata.
• Fully private account creation: No phone number or email needed to create an Account ID
• Decentralized server network: No data breaches, no central point of failure
• No metadata logging: Session doesn’t store, track, or log your messaging metadata
• IP address protection: Device IP addresses are never exposed to the person you’re talking to or the servers holding your data
• Closed groups: Private, end-to-end encrypted group chats for up to 100 people
• Secure attachments: Share voice snippets, photos, and files with Session’s secure encryption and privacy protections
• Free and open-source: Don’t take our word for it — check Session’s code yourself
Session is free as in free speech and free as in free of ads and trackers. It is stewarded by the Session Foundation, a Swiss-based foundation dedicated to advancing digital rights and innovation. Take back your online privacy today — download Session.
