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 guess it's good to have a new version made in Rust, but the new UI is worse IMO, with the app trying to guess profile pictures and e-mail rows being wider, the inbox looking less compact. Also, the dark theme is lighter and more colorful. The worst about all of this is that you can't change any of it.

I don't see the faster performance either - the last version was quite snappy on my device (with good connection) and now the settings menus take some seconds to load.

I've seen the notification option...do we have new e-mail notifications if one doesn't have Google Play Services?

Also...fdroid release wen

Notifications... I think it's still using google services. I tested and didn't get any notification. (Unless there's a setting I missed that prevented it)
