Proton Mail brings offline email support to Android users

Proton Mail's latest Android update finally lets users read, search, and write emails offline.

Proton Mail just made managing your inbox a lot more flexible on the go, especially when you’re stuck without internet. The encrypted email service has rolled out a redesigned Android app that finally brings full offline support, which means you can now read, draft, and search through emails on Android 3without needing a live connection.

Until now, Proton Mail users on Android were locked into an online-only experience. That means being unable to open old messages without being connected, something iOS owners have been able to do for some time. The new update changes that by caching emails directly on your device and syncing any changes once you’re back online. That means you can respond to messages, search through old threads, and create email drafts without interruption.

Offline access has been available on other secure email platforms for a while, but Proton’s implementation is designed to keep your data protected even when stored locally. The app still uses zero-access encryption, meaning Proton still can’t read your emails, even on your phone.

The new version of the app also introduces a slicker interface and faster performance across the board. It’s currently rolling out through the Play Store, so not all users will see the update right away. But once it hits your device, you’ll be able to check your inbox in airplane mode, draft replies on the subway, or scroll through emails during a camping trip with zero bars.

So if you’re planning to go off the grid this summer on a road trip, know that you’re good to go with Proton Mail, which can at least give you some peace of mind that your email isn’t being compromised while remaining locally available on your device.

Nearly a month after announcing the GPT-6.1 Sol model, OpenAI unveiled GPT-6.1 Terra today. The latest addition to the family focuses on computer use, visual reasoning, coding, and professional work, while costing 50% less through the API than GPT-5.6 Terra.

OpenAI says Terra can handle everything from filling out browser forms and working inside spreadsheets to interpreting technical drawings and editing videos. The company says it can also complete computer-based tasks more than three times faster than GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol.

ASUS has started selling its UGen Intel Arc Pro B70 graphics card in Europe, bringing its take on Intel’s workstation GPU to customers with a hefty €1,799 recommended price. The card is available in Germany and Austria, while ASUS lists it at CHF 1,799 in Switzerland.

Intel first introduced the Arc Pro B70 in March 2026, with its own branded model starting at $949. ASUS’s version arrives several months later with the same core GPU architecture but a different cooling design and a higher power rating. The price also places it well above Intel’s original starting point, although the two prices are not directly comparable because ASUS’s European figure includes VAT.

Anthropic has officially filed to go public, and buried inside its S-1 is a blunt warning about the technology at the center of its business. The maker of Claude AI says advanced AI could cause everything from large-scale cyberattacks and geopolitical instability to catastrophic or even existential risks for humanity.

The warnings take up a surprisingly large part of the filing. Axios notes that more than 90 pages, or roughly a third of the prospectus, focus on risk factors. Many of them warn about what could happen as AI systems become more capable and autonomous.
