from the team:


Hi everyone,

We’re excited to announce that the new Proton Mail apps for iOS and Android are now available.

We’ve listened to your feedback, and this release is designed to address your needs and improve your experience.

Here’s what’s new:

  • Faster performance: emails open quicker, routine actions, like scrolling your inbox, archiving threads, or replying on the go, all feel instant, and the overall app is more responsive.
  • A modern design: managing your inbox is now easier thanks to a refreshed interface with simpler navigation.
  • Offline mode: read, write, and organize emails without an internet connection. Changes sync automatically once you’re back online.
  • Feature parity: iOS and Android now share the same features (such as snooze and schedule send), with updates rolling out in sync across both platforms.

On the technical side, the apps now share ~80% of their code thanks to a new architecture built in Rust.

Getting the update:

On iOS: you can update manually from the App Store.

On Android: the new version is gradually rolling out on the Play Store.

This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without all of you, the Proton community. Thank you to everyone who tested early builds, reported bugs, and gave feedback. You’ve been a huge part of this journey.

    I know this has been in the works for a while so I’m glad its finally out, and I’m sure future updates will move faster with a mostly uniform back end.

    Usage is fine. Navigating does seem faster. Switching between email folders is still slow (maybe slower?) But once an initial load in switching between them is fast.

    UI is good and keeping with the general branding/design.

    I don’t see a way to customize appearance, such as font size etc. Text is larger that previously, which is nice but I think it’s too large. I’d like to adjust to an in between state.

    Also as another has noted, I’d like to get away from google play services for notifications.
