Proton Mail: Encrypted Email APK listing review
Proton Mail: Encrypted Email APK listing review
Proton Mail: Encrypted Email is a Communication app from Proton AG with the package name `ch.protonmail.android`. The listing describes an encrypted email app with Proton addresses, encrypted messages and attachments, multiple accounts, folders, labels, swipe gestures, notifications, password-protected emails, dark mode, anti-tracking protection, Easy Switch migration, and Gmail auto-forwarding.
Listing Identity
The local metadata shows version 7.7.1, an update date of January 28, 2026, and a release date of March 16, 2016. Installs are listed at 10,000,000+ with a score around 4.24 from more than 82,000 ratings. That is a meaningful privacy-app footprint. Readers should still inspect recent reviews for sync, notification, and subscription issues.
Encryption Model
Proton Mail emphasizes end-to-end and zero-access encryption, meaning Proton says it cannot read stored message content. This is a major privacy advantage, especially for Proton-to-Proton communication and encrypted storage. Users should still understand the limits: email sent to non-Proton recipients, subject metadata, contacts, and external forwarding can involve different exposure depending on settings.
Inbox Features
The app includes folders, labels, multiple accounts, notifications, dark mode, password-protected emails, and migration from other providers. That makes it more practical than a bare secure mailbox. Users moving from Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, or AOL should test migration and forwarding with non-critical accounts before moving essential communication.
Cost And Plans
The metadata marks Proton Mail as free with in-app purchases and no ad-supported flag. Free accounts can work well, but storage, aliases, custom domains, extra addresses, and advanced features may require paid plans. Readers should verify current plan limits, renewal terms, and whether other Proton services are bundled.
Privacy And Permissions
The privacy policy points to proton.me. The local snapshot does not include a permission breakdown, so readers should inspect live Android prompts directly. Email apps may request notifications, contacts, storage, camera for attachments, and account permissions. Users should review recovery options carefully because strong encryption can make account recovery more limited.
Reader Fit
Proton Mail fits users who value privacy, encrypted storage, no targeted ads, and a security-focused email provider. It may be less convenient for users who rely heavily on Gmail-specific integrations, shared business calendars, or legacy email workflows. Privacy benefits are strongest when contacts also use compatible secure practices.
Source Checks
Confirm the package `ch.protonmail.android`, developer name, current version, privacy policy, plan pricing, live permissions, account recovery options, and migration behavior. Read recent reviews for delayed notifications, search limits, sync issues, subscription complaints, and attachment problems.
FungoApp Review View
Proton Mail is a strong privacy-oriented email app, but the review should explain both advantages and boundaries. Key checks are encryption scope, recovery tradeoffs, plan limits, non-Proton recipient behavior, migration reliability, notification performance, and whether the user's email habits match Proton's security model.
FungoApp review for Proton Mail: Encrypted Email
Proton Mail: Encrypted Email by Proton AG is listed in Communication. This page organizes the available metadata into a practical review format, including version 7.7.1, Android requirement not listed, update date Jan 28, 2026, rating 4.2 out of 5, and install signal 10,000,000+.
Review messaging, calling, email, and community apps by comparing privacy controls, contacts access, notification behavior, media features, and source transparency. For Proton Mail: Encrypted Email, use the details below as a checklist before you decide whether the app fits your device, privacy expectations, and use case.
Install decision context for Proton Mail: Encrypted Email
Proton Mail: Encrypted Email is best reviewed as a Communication listing from Proton AG, not as a direct APK file from FungoApp. The current signals show version 7.7.1, Android requirement not listed, last update Jan 28, 2026, rating 4.2 out of 5, install signal 10,000,000+, and monetization that does not list ads in the current data and offers in-app purchases. Use those signals together: a popular listing can still be a poor fit if the permissions, update age, or account requirements do not match your intended use.
Use-case fit analysis
Proton Mail: Encrypted Email is presented around this purpose: "A trusted email app that uses end-to-end encryption and offers advanced security" A good fit is more likely when that purpose matches the category, screenshots, version history, and the kind of access the app requests. If you only need a narrow task, compare this listing with simpler alternatives before leaving FungoApp for the external source.
Permissions and privacy interpretation
Proton Mail: Encrypted Email does not include a permission list in the current FungoApp data. That missing field reduces review confidence, so readers should check the Android install prompt and source listing before using personal data or granting sensitive access.
Version and update interpretation
The listing shows version 7.7.1, updated Jan 28, 2026, package size not listed, and Android requirement not listed. Newer updates can indicate maintenance, but the practical question is whether the listed Android requirement fits your device and whether recent changes explain why the app needs its current permissions and storage footprint.
Screenshot review prompts
Proton Mail: Encrypted Email includes 16 screenshots in the current listing data. Use them to confirm the interface, account prompts, ads, paywalls, editing tools, game style, or workflow before you open the source page. Screenshots are evidence of presentation, not independent proof of package behavior.
Use case fit
Proton Mail: Encrypted Email is summarized as: "A trusted email app that uses end-to-end encryption and offers advanced security" Compare that promise with the screenshots, category, update notes, and related apps before installing.
Version and compatibility
The listing shows version 7.7.1, Android requirement not listed, package size not listed, and last update Jan 28, 2026. These details matter because older devices, large packages, and stale updates can change the install experience.
Privacy and permissions
Proton Mail: Encrypted Email does not include a permission list in the current metadata, so review the source listing and Android install prompt carefully.
Review checklist
- Confirm the developer name and source listing before installing.
- Review version, Android requirement, package size, and update date.
- Compare requested permission access with the feature you actually need.
- Read recent change notes and ratings as signals, not as guarantees of safety.
Comparison prompts
- Compare Proton Mail: Encrypted Email's developer and source link with other Communication options before installing.
- Check whether version 7.7.1 and Android not listed match your device.
- Review the source listing carefully because FungoApp does not currently have a permission list for this app.
- Compare against related listings such as BonChat and FairEmail, privacy aware email for feature scope and privacy tradeoffs.
Publisher notes
- FungoApp organizes public listing metadata into review notes and comparison checklists for Proton Mail: Encrypted Email.
- FungoApp does not host the APK file, modify the app package, or claim independent file verification from the current data.
- The 4.2 rating is positive, though rating volume and recent reviews should be checked on the source listing before treating it as a strong quality signal. 10,000,000+ installs indicate broad usage, which helps with discovery but does not prove the package is appropriate for every device or privacy expectation.
