From Vision to Reality: Redefining Secure Collaboration With MLS

At Wire, we're redefining what secure communication looks like at scale. With the launch of Messaging Layer Security (MLS) in our platform, we’ve taken a bold step into the future, introducing a breakthrough in secure, large-scale collaboration that no other platform has brought to market.

Naturally, as with any transformative technology, this transition comes with its share of challenges. We are aware of some issues that have surfaced during the rollout. For example, we have observed instances of heavy loading on our cloud back-end servers as users and devices transition to MLS, and we have been steadily addressing client issues that arise, which you can track in our release notes. 

With millions of Wire users worldwide, it's essential for us to communicate that we're aware of the issues and that our tech team is actively working to resolve them as they arise. Our commitment is clear: we’re moving quickly to iron out these issues and ensure a seamless experience for all our users. We appreciate your patience and support as we fine-tune the powerful security and efficiency that MLS brings.

Why This Moment Matters?

But let’s not lose sight of the bigger picture, because what we’re building is truly groundbreaking, and here’s why this moment matters.

MLS isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a transformation.  With MLS, Wire is not just enhancing security, we're reshaping the future of secure team collaboration. This is uncharted territory. No other collaboration platform has implemented MLS in production, and we’re proud to be the first to do so. Naturally, such innovation doesn’t come with a manual. There's no lab big enough to pre-test everything. We’re navigating new terrain, and we’re doing it with purpose, determination, and transparency.

With MLS, Wire breaks down the scalability barrier that has prevented many larger organizations from fully adopting secure collaboration. With MLS, Wire can deliver truly scalable end-to-end encryption that is always on, always seamless, and always invisible to the user. It delivers industry-leading security without adding friction, making secure collaboration feel effortless.

Raising the Bar And Redefining It

We’re not just raising the bar, we're setting a new gold standard.

Wire with MLS is more than just a product evolution. And while we’re still smoothing out the edges, what we’re building is bigger than any temporary obstacle: a platform that empowers teams, protects conversations, and scales securely with confidence.

As we continue to refine and expand our MLS implementation, we thank you for your trust and support. The future of secure collaboration starts now with Wire.
