What is Trumpia?

Trumpia's feed is an SMS marketing blog with no product releases in it.

Every recent entry is educational or promotional content about SMS marketing — campaign prerequisites, KPI lists, an emoji guide, opt-in psychology, RCS-to-SMS instructions. None describes a change to the Trumpia product. One post appears twice under the same title with slightly reworked text.

What is Session?

Session ships new app versions and node upgrades while Pro stays on hold.

Session's 2026 started with a funding scare, then community support restored its runway in June. Session Pro reached a beta in app stores in September before its launch was paused in October during talks with an allied privacy ecosystem. Since then the work is infrastructure: lighter Session Node software, an update on Protocol v2, and on November 9 new iOS, Android and Desktop releases with further voluntary node upgrades and progress on a unified client.

Trumpia vs Session: editorial side-by-side

T
Trumpia
COMMS
5.0

Trumpia's feed is an SMS marketing blog with no product releases in it.

◆ Current state

Every recent entry is educational or promotional content about SMS marketing — campaign prerequisites, KPI lists, an emoji guide, opt-in psychology, RCS-to-SMS instructions. None describes a change to the Trumpia product. One post appears twice under the same title with slightly reworked text.

◆ Where it's heading

This is a content-marketing channel rather than a changelog, so it carries no signal about where the product is heading. The consistent editorial theme is defending SMS against social media and RCS as a reach channel, which indicates where Trumpia positions commercially rather than what it is building.

◆ Prediction

The feed will keep producing SEO content on SMS marketing fundamentals. Any read on product direction would have to come from a different source than this one.

5.0

Session ships new app versions and node upgrades while Pro stays on hold.

◆ Current state

Session's 2026 started with a funding scare, then community support restored its runway in June. Session Pro reached a beta in app stores in September before its launch was paused in October during talks with an allied privacy ecosystem. Since then the work is infrastructure: lighter Session Node software, an update on Protocol v2, and on November 9 new iOS, Android and Desktop releases with further voluntary node upgrades and progress on a unified client.

◆ Where it's heading

With Pro paused, Session is spending its effort on the network and the client codebase: lighter nodes, Protocol v2 with forward secrecy and post-quantum encryption, and one client for all platforms. Monetization waits on the outside talks.

◆ Prediction

Expect a Protocol v2 alpha or the unified client to be the next visible release; Pro's timing depends on talks the entries do not detail.
