Comments on Session - Private Messenger for Android

★★★★★ Great app .very fast. Beats telegram and signal if you are seeking privacy... The voice calls are on beta for now. It works fine and can only improve. .

★★★★★ Do you all realize that this app owned by YouTube, which is now owned by Google, plus this available through Google Play Store, (and even if it weren't) your messages are not really private? And nothing ever truly disappears or is permanently deleted? So if you ever got on some government entities radar they can retrieve every message or photo you ever sent since the old cell phones they had back in 2003? Deleted as well? Any so-called private message app on Play Store is totally a set-up.

★★★★★ Very nice, however, since the last update I still can't get any of my Bluetooth devices to work on a phone call. The option for using a Bluetooth device is gone from the screen, only speaker on or off is left. Can't use it in my mobile. Temporarily switching to Conservation application until this is fixed.

★★☆☆☆ There is no way to scan QR codes. If you bring up the scanning window and hold your phone up to a QR code on another device (assuming you even have another device to view it on) there is no way to make the app scan the code once you have it centered. It doesn't do it automatically when centered like many other apps do, and there's no button to tell it to scan. So how do you make it scan? There's also no option to internally scan a QR code that's saved on your phone either. ~~ Android 9, Note 8.

★★☆☆☆ After download, it shows me a creation, continue your, link a device. There is no other key. Create generate code. Continue ask for your recovery phase but will not accept, will not auto pick the code & loop the same thing. It did not create account, no setting, etc.

★★☆☆☆ I try to clear my data from device and after that this app is continually crashing and I am not able to open my session account again.

★★☆☆☆ The app would be amazing if sending messages actually worked, always infinitely sending and failing
