Description

Session is an open-source decentralized messenger operated by a global community of privacy experts. It offers end-to-end encrypted and disappearing messages, secure group and community chats, account IDs instead of phone numbers or email, and onion-routed communication paths. Its network is run by thousands of community-operated nodes and it states that it does not collect, track, or sell users' private data.
