Proton’s revamped Mail app has started to roll out publicly for Android and iOS users. Proton confirmed the release with an official announcement on the r/ProtonMail subreddit.
The refresh was foreshadowed in Proton’s April roadmap, which promised brand‑new mobile apps built on a faster, more extensible foundation that would unlock offline mode, advanced message search, and better stability and performance during a summer launch window.
Proton says that the new update is live for users on the App Store. So anyone can head to the App Store and install or update to the newest version. Android users, however, will have to wait due to a gradual rollout on the Play Store.
Is a separate thread, the team also noted that they’ll be posting the new Mail app to GitHub in the “upcoming weeks,” but the APK “might be available sooner.”
On iOS, the App Store now lists version 7.0.3 along with release notes that call out faster performance, a vibrant design, and an offline mode for reading, writing, and organizing without a connection.
Offline mode is one of the headline additions from Proton’s roadmap. This means that users can now compose or organize their mailboxes even when disconnected from the internet. Then, once they get back online, the changes will automatically sync up in the background.
Then, the app will feel faster and smoother in general. Plus, your inbox will look a lot neater thanks to the “modern design” that’s been implemented.
There’s also some good news for Android users because this update brings the much-needed feature parity between iOS and Android. Android folks will no longer feel like second-class citizens because previously iOS-exclusive features like snooze and schedule send will now be available to them as well. Plus, Proton says updates will now roll out in sync on both platforms.
If the update is not visible yet, some Android users say joining the Play Store beta helped surface the new build early, while others note staged releases can still take days to reach every device in the pool.
That said, let us know in the comments below if you’ve got the new Mail app and what are your early impressions.
