(Answered) Question about the new IOS in c/protonprivacy@lemmy.world
[–] alex_herrero@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

What is now available:

-All photos from your iOS device will be backed up to your Drive

-It's a backup, so actions taken on your device or Proton Drive online won't have impact on the other.

It will probably be more convenient once they make the rearrange buttons available on Android as it is on iOS. Probably soon.

Thanks for your feedback! Did you report it from the app so the devs can have a look at it and debug if needed?

It is an error. A fix to remove this is coming, as the team stated some hours ago:

"There is a fix incoming, thanks for your patience!"

[Proton.me] Top blog posts of January 2024 (lemmy.world)
 

From the Team:

Hi, everyone!

As our yearly blog roundup promised, we're bringing you last month's top new blog articles. January turned out to be quite news-heavy, with posts analyzing the relationship between big tech and privacy concerns being the most prominent.

🥶 Outlook is now Microsoft's new data-collection service - Microsoft informed its users that they share their data with 772 third parties.

💲 Big Tech has already made enough money in 2024 to pay all its 2023 fines - Last year, Big Tech companies (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft) received about $3 billion in fines for breaking laws. We discuss whether these fines are big enough in the given context.

🧽 The worst privacy washing of 2023 and trends to expect in 2024 - The false advertising Big Tech companies use to trick people into thinking their products are private is becoming the #1 threat to privacy.

Regarding the more practical articles we publish, most of you have been interested in how to set up a private email server, while the most popular piece of Proton-related news has been the price change of Proton Pass.

We'll keep rounding up top blog articles each month for you to make sure you're all caught up on the latest news and tips. You can follow our blog here (we have an RSS feed, too), and we welcome all your suggestions about what we should write about next! Let us know in the comment below.

[SOLVED] Manual Bridge Update Required? in c/protonprivacy@lemmy.world
[–] alex_herrero@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

It's official, for the original message see here: https://status.proton.me/incidents/3jwzn1fyf1x3 "Some Windows and Linux versions of Proton Mail Bridge are experiencing issues in auto-upgrading to newer versions of Bridge. In certain situations, it can lead to downgrading to a version that could reduce reliability.

If you are facing problems with Bridge on Windows and Linux, or even if you are not facing issues, we recommend making a manual update to the latest version.

Download the latest version here: https://proton.me/mail/bridge#download

Afterward, double-click the downloaded file to start the update. Once the update is done, Bridge will be able to auto-update again.

Every Windows and Linux Bridge version between 3.2.0 and 3.8.1 (inclusive) must be manually updated to the latest Bridge version to re-enable auto-updates, which is important for security and reliability. We recommend performing a manual update if you are unsure which version of Bridge you have.

In case of any questions, please get in touch with Proton customer support or consult the following article for more information: https://proton.me/support/protonmail-bridge-manual-update

No other Proton services besides the specific Windows and Linux versions of Proton Mail Bridge were affected. Posted 15 hours ago. Feb 03, 2024 - 00:29 CET"

Would be nice, right? Thanks for your feedback, I'll pass along!

Edited: thinking it further, it could be a different app, not all pass users use mail.

Hi everyone,

As a result of your valuable feedback, we've been working on making Proton Mail and Calendar easier to use on your desktop.

Today, we reached a significant milestone - the Proton Mail and Calendar desktop apps for Windows and macOS are now available in beta for all supporters on paid Proton plans. We're also working on the Linux app and will release it soon for testing.

Thanks to your initial feedback, we've added new features and bug fixes, including:

  • 🗓 Easier access to Calendar via the app switcher on macOS

  • 🚨 Notification badge for unread messages

  • 🔤 Improved accessibility and font support

  • ⏩ Easy Switch and Gmail sync can now be set up from within the app, allowing you to easily sync emails, contacts, and calendars from non-Proton accounts

Let us know what you think; we look forward to your feedback!
