Roskomsvoboda: Delta Chat again refused to cooperate with Russian authorities
Translated summary: “In its response to the agency, the service also clarified that it is an app that allows users to choose email providers at will, and it does not have access to the contents of messages, let alone the encryption keys that only exist on users’ devices.”

РБК (Major Russian Newspaper): Why are Russian Internet outages becoming more frequent and how to stay connected?
Translated summary: “Another messenger that is also resistant to communication problems is Delta Chat. It sends messages using regular e-mail protocols, and e-mail, as experts note, is very resistant to common communication problems.”

c’t, a german technology magazine, tested Delta Chat 1½ years
Translated summary: “Delta Chat is definitely worth a longer look. The app harmoniously combines chat as a form of communication with the tried-and-tested medium of email and even offers some features that you won’t find in other messengers, such as small “webxdc” apps that you can embed directly in chats and use with conversation partners. It’s a shame that Delta Chat didn’t exist before WhatsApp and the like.”
Ubuntubuzz: Features You May Find Excellent…
“Apple and alike could be forced to give users’ data to government, Delta could not, because it does not have users’ data. […] No server, no data collection, and no phone number required. Modern, fancy, WhatsApp-like user interface. Can message people who do not use Delta Chat.”

jlelse’s Blog: Email is the messenger you should migrate to

NixFAQ: Delta Chat, a libre decentralized Chat-over-Email End-to-End Encrypted messaging solution
“Delta Chat uses existing email addresses as an identifier. By default, no address book data (such as telephone number) are read out or transmitted to external servers, as is the case with messengers such as WhatsApp and Co. In contrast to many other messengers, Delta Chat enables an identifier that is not linked to the telephone number. A welcome exception.”
