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.
From Andy:
There's some misinformation floating around that I think is worth a post to clarify.
Proton generally only suspends accounts if 1) forced to do so by a Swiss govt order 2) we are sure beyond a reasonable doubt the user breached Protons Terms of Service (ToS) or 3) we detect that the user has been compromised.
Contrary to what some people think, Proton generally only suspends a single service and not all services. For example, let's say you decide to start sending spam in violation of Proton ToS, Proton Mail may be suspended, but Proton Pass will continue to work. There are of course exceptions to this (for example, if an attacker is hitting your account or has already gotten in, we'll lock the whole thing down until you get in touch with us).
In general, account suspensions due to (1) and (2) are extremely rare, with (3) being slightly more common. (2) typically happens with newly created accounts with are used for spamming or registering large number of accounts at third party services (such as Instagram, etc). The odds of an account you have been using for a while suddenly being suspended is virtually zero, and even then, we have a 24/7 team you can contact to appeal.
For ToS violations, it is irrelevant who reports the violation to us, if the violation is verified beyond a reasonable doubt, Proton will suspend the account. Proton data is encrypted, but we use OSINT techniques, our datasets of dark web chatter, information shared with us by other tech companies, and various other methods to do verification.
From time to time, there are claims that Proton is suspending accounts improperly. Our policy is not to comment publicly on specific cases, but there is usually more to the story than meets the eye, and the anonymous posters on the internet generally don't disclose the full story. Such claims should therefore not be taken as fact, as the facts themselves are usually wrong.
To give an illustrative example, recently it was claimed that Proton was blocking the account of journalists. However, these were not "journalists" in the traditional sense, but hacktivists who were involved in a number of hacking incidents, which is a violation of Proton's ToS, and therefore subject to suspension of all accounts. In this case, I made the decision to exceptionally restore two accounts because hacktivism cases are not always black and white. However, Proton's policy is that if you use some accounts for illegal purposes, you will also lose access to the accounts where you have not yet conducted illegal activities.
Proton has no choice but to enforce ToS, because if activities which are illegal under Swiss law, or other activities which are technically not illegal but damaging to Proton (such as sending spam) where not forbidden, Proton would unfortunately become blocked by other email providers, hurting legitimate users.
In enforcing our ToS, we show no favor or bias. It does not matter your ideology or which "side" you are on, Proton enforces the ToS uniformly.

Thank you for your understanding.

There you can deactivate that.
Lumo isn't a model; it uses open models, so this is a strange comparison. You can find the models Lumo uses in the privacy policy: https://proton.me/support/lumo-privacy
Additionally, as others have pointed out, the client apps are open source as well.
is it full account access?
Yes ,they can also as example keep paying for the account
Proton does not hold the access key in a form that allows us to decrypt a user's data. Instead, we store a copy of the account’s encryption key, which itself is encrypted using the trusted contact’s public key. This means only the trusted contact can decrypt it — and even they can only do so once Proton's system grants access, for example after a confirmed emergency or timeframe. Neither Proton nor the trusted contact can access the user’s data on their own — both are required for access to happen, preserving end-to-end encryption principles.
from the team:
Proton protects your digital life: your emails, files, and passwords. In an emergency, it may be critical that the people you trust can access this information securely.
Proton's Emergency Access Feature
With Emergency Access, you can designate up to five trusted contacts who can access your Proton Mail, Proton Drive, Proton Pass, and Proton VPN if the unexpected occurs.
How it works:
- Choose up to 5 Proton users as emergency contacts.
- Trusted contacts who make an access request can access your account after a set wait time. During the wait time, you can approve the request immediately or deny it. If you do nothing, the request will automatically be approved after the wait time.
- You can revoke or modify access at any time.
Emergency access preserves end-to-end encryption.
This feature is now available with paid Proton plans.
If you want peace of mind and flexibility in critical situations, set up Emergency Access today and make sure your loved ones are never locked out of essential information.

Still planned for summer, which in Switzerland (HQ of Proton) is until 22nd September
You're welcome, I am here for the community 👍
One of the Proton Linux devs just commented about that over in the Proton VPN subreddit:
We're going to work on it, there are some issues with the DNS resolver that debian uses, which is not the same as Ubuntu and Fedora, which makes split tunneling behave in an unexpected manner.
Out of curiosity, are you or any of the other mods with Proton officially? I appreciate the updates regardless, I was curious if this was an official / unofficial community
We are the same volunteering moderators as on all the Proton subreddits. Official in that way and that the owner of the board here is the Proton account beloging to the team, unofficial in the way that the Proton Team isn't really present here.
Do you still need help or did you get it sorted?
Sorry for the absence, it has been a bit hectic! News from the Proton Team:
Hey everyone,
It’s finally here! Split Tunneling is officially rolling out in beta for Linux, starting with Fedora and Ubuntu (latest versions only).
This is an early release, and we’ll keep on making improvements together with your help. We wanted to get it out there for anyone who wants to test-drive it and help shape how it evolves.
✅ What’s in this release:
- Exclude mode only — you can pick apps to bypass the VPN
- Fedora + Ubuntu support
- Works only with the official Proton VPN Linux app
🔜 Coming soon:
- Include mode — route only selected apps through the VPN
- IP-based rules
- Debian 12 support
⚠️ A few caveats:
- You’ll need the latest version of our Linux app
- Feature is available only for those on a paid plan
- The feature won’t be available for (unofficial) Flatpak versions of our app, so please use our official installer from our website.
- Bugs and limited functionality are expected (beta life)
Let us know how it works for you, and what you’d like to see next! We are going to keep making improvements and changes to this feature over time, so give us as much feedback as you can.
Stay safe,
Proton Team
from the team:
Hey everyone! 👋
We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes, and with spring in full swing, we wanted to share a few recent Proton VPN updates that we think you’ll appreciate. These aren’t flashy new features — just thoughtful improvements to make your online life smoother, safer, and more efficient.
🛡️ NetShield is now even better at blocking phishing sites
Worried about accidentally clicking a sketchy link? We’ve expanded the list of known phishing domains NetShield blocks — so now it stops more bad stuff before it even has a chance to load. Just turn on NetShield in the app, and you’re good to go.
🔋 Battery life improvements for mobile users
We’ve improved how Proton VPN runs in the background on both Android and iOS. If you're on the move using a cellular connection, the app will now let your phone rest more when idle, meaning less power drain and longer battery life.
Some quick tips for even better battery life:
-
Use WiFi when you can (uses less power than mobile data)
-
Switch to WireGuard (lightweight and battery-friendly)
-
Don’t stress about using lots of data — that barely affects battery usage
⚡ Faster browsing when conditions aren’t perfect
Proton VPN has always been fast, but now it’s smarter too. If your connection is being slowed down due to certain network quirks, the app can detect and automatically fix it in real-time so you get the fastest connection speed available. No manual tweaking needed.
We know “invisible” updates aren’t as exciting as shiny new features, but these kinds of tweaks make a huge difference day-to-day — and they’re all part of our mission to keep improving the VPN experience.
Let us know how these updates are working for you, or if you’ve noticed a difference!
As always, thanks for being part of the Proton community 💜
