Australian-Based Encrypted Messaging dApp releases P2P Calls
Categories: Crypto News US
Having surpassed the 1 million downloads milestone earlier this year, the decentralised private messaging App ‘Session’ has now released a new feature enabling private peer-to-peer phone calls.In late 2021, the closed beta was released for Session calls. After a six month closed beta period where beta testers were able to provide essential feedback, Session calls have entered an open beta – meaning anyone can now access the ability to make calls on Session.As this release is still a beta release, ‘we’ are still actively looking for any bugs or issues with the release. Looking forward, onion-routed calls are coming and they are dependent on Lokinet integration with Session; however, we must ensure our current P2P calls implementation is robust and secure first. Session’s onion-routed calls will be a first of its kind in a consumer grade communication application, let alone a decentralised application.Session is anonymous — with no phone numbers, emails, or any other identifying information being needed to create an account. Within the space of a few minutes, you can download the app, sign up, and start having conversations in full privacy. This means that just like our messaging service, this technology was applied to calls.Session is now one of the easiest, most secure, most private ways to have a phone call — and all without a phone number.
