Email was born on desktop computers. Early email apps for mobile could feel off — the lag when you open a message, the clumsy taps trying to pull up the right draft, the jolt when you switch devices and need to adjust to a different layout.

But today, our phone is our camera, our calendar, our communication hub, our mobile headquarters. We live on our phones. With this in mind, over the past year, we embarked on an ambitious project to rebuild Proton Mail’s iOS(new window) and Android(new window) apps from the ground up.

Our completely redesigned apps are fast, modern, and smoother to work with, even when you’re offline. And for the first time, iOS and Android are fully in sync, with the same features and updates arriving side by side.

You no longer have to choose between Big Tech’s convenience or encrypted email’s privacy. Proton Mail lets you have both. Proton Mail v7 (yes, this is now the 7th major release of Proton Mail, but probably the largest update so far) is also a new beginning. Built on an entirely new code base that shares logic across iOS and Android, it will allow us to deliver new features much faster going forward, and they’ll arrive on iOS and Android at the same time.
