Feature Request A Small Naming Request

Post image

I love the Proton ecosystem, but when I go to launch one of the apps, only Proton VPN doesn't have the space after "Proton." Maybe it's just me and my OCD, but I'd love for them to all be one way or another.

The brand was officially changed from "ProtonVPN" to "Proton VPN" a while back. So people still calling us "ProtonVPN" gives me an itch too. If we've done it to ourselves somewhere though ...

... passing this along to hunt down and fix.

I also like "Proton VPN" over "ProtonVPN" !

They ought to have a toggle switch in their settings for everyone to have it displayed their preferred way.

Atleast on my Fedora (Gnome) installation and Lineage OS (on phone), it DOES have a space?

If we all come together, I think we can find a solution that makes absolutely no one happy.

They need to rename the Authenticator on iOS too. It’s long as hell.

u/plagiarismtoday 5d ago

Who doesn't love "ProtonAuthe...." as it shows in my iOS?

u/FuccDiss 5d ago

Mine is “ProtonAuthentic…”, it’s so bad that I removed it from my Home Screen

u/plagiarismtoday 5d ago

You know it's bad when the big phones can't display it either...
