Wait, wait, wait. ProtonMail only supports WKD lookups for desktop. I've had an open request for years to their support team to implement WKD lookups on mobile. As ProtonMail is the only PGP email provider with any mass traction, at this point it's just a middle finger to people who prefer to control their own selfhosted mailservers.

I can't expect any PM user is going to be able to send me PGP encrypted mail when many emails start from a mobile device.

I was curious about this problem, and found that the pull request for "Implement WKD" (in the web app) was merged[0] in December 2019, and there is a bug report[1] from October 2020 complaining that the Android app can't look up (some) WKD keys. That bug was last updated in November 2020 and is still open.
