User Reviews

Overall, reviews for Wire on iOS are polarized. A strong thread praises the app's security and straightforward UI, with many longtime users appreciating end-to-end encryption and simple setup. However, recurring complaints focus on reliability: inconsistent notifications, connection issues, and delayed or missing messages. Updates often disrupt features or layouts, sometimes locking users out or forcing OS updates. Some also note accessibility/login quirks and limited UI customization. Users who value privacy and security may be satisfied, but reliability and update-related regressions are common concerns.

Pros

Strong security and end-to-end encryption.
Simple UI and easy onboarding; easy for friends to download and connect.
Long-standing reputation as a secure messenger.
Device-based login provides perceived robust security on supported devices.

Cons

Notifications do not work reliably; users don’t receive alerts.
Unstable connectivity and slow or failed message delivery; app often cannot connect.
Updates frequently break features or UI, and some changes can be hard to revert.
Forced updates on iOS can cause login issues or access problems, including loopbacks to the App Store.
Lack of UI customization options (e.g., inability to disable chat bubble colors).

This app is nice to talk to my friends overseas, however it is very annoying that it still sends notifications while the app is open and you’re in the middle of a convo. You have to clear the notification for literally every single message that comes through. Can you guys fix that? Sure I can turn it off while using it, and then back on again, but no other app is like that. It’s inconvenient when I’m in and out of the app doing other things. I wouldn’t get notified to come back to the app when I get another message.

Please add a location in the app where I can view all of the reasons the app has given me a notification. like a “these are all of the previous notifications you have received” (user) (action) so notification But the phantom notifications, when I receive a notification and there’s no reason why I should be receiving one that I can see are driving me insane.
