Session - Private Messenger

Session is an open-source messenger using account IDs and a distributed routing network.

Our take

Consider after checking its actual security model

Phone-number-free account creation can reduce one identity requirement.

Keep in mind: No-leaks and completely-safe wording are not guarantees; device compromise, recipient actions and recovery handling still matter. No independent security audit was performed here.

What you can do

  • Create a described account ID without phone/email
  • Exchange supported messages and attachments
  • Use eligible encrypted closed groups

Good for

  • Users willing to understand identity/recovery procedures

Consider alternatives for

  • Users expecting anonymity or protection from every threat

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.6.
  • No-leaks and completely-safe wording are not guarantees; device compromise, recipient actions and recovery handling still matter. No independent security audit was performed here.

Privacy & permissions

Publisher describes metadata minimization and IP routing protection; confirm feature-specific limits in official documentation.
