Why Email Apps Are a Privacy Risk in 2026

Native email apps create legal attack surfaces. Developer accounts, push notification surveillance, court orders — why web-only email is safer.

Key Points

Native apps require developer accounts with real legal identity on Apple/Google. ProtonMail logged IP of French activist (2021). Tutanota forced to monitor user (2020). Lavabit shut down (2013). Push notifications leak metadata to Apple/Google. Web-only PWA eliminates all these attack surfaces. QRYPTY Mail has no app, no developer account, no entity to subpoena.
