Description
Threema is the world’s best-selling secure messenger and keeps your data out of the hands of hackers, corporations, and governments. The service can be used completely anonymously. Threema is open source, allows to make end-to-end encrypted voice and video calls, and offers every feature one would expect from a state-of-the-art instant messenger. With Threema Web, you can also use Threema from your Desktop. PRIVACY AND ANONYMITY Threema is designed from the ground up to generate as little data on servers as possible. Group memberships and contact lists are managed on your device only, and never stored on our servers. Messages are immediately deleted after they have been delivered. Local files are stored encrypted on your mobile phone or tablet. All this effectively prevents the collection and misuse of your personal information, including metadata. Threema is fully compliant with the European privacy legislation (GDPR). HIGHEST ENCRYPTION STRENGTH Threema encrypts ALL your communications END-TO-END including messages, voice and video calls, group chats, media files and even status messages. You can rest assured that only the intended recipient can read your chats, and nobody else – not even us. Threema uses the trusted open source NaCl cryptography library for encryption. The encryption keys are generated and safely stored on users’ devices to prevent backdoor access or copies.

FULL ANONYMITY Each Threema user receives a random Threema ID for identification. A phone number or email address is not required to use Threema. This unique feature allows you to use Threema completely anonymously – no need to give up private information or to open an account.

Review
Messaging works great, my only complaint is that if I do an audio call, half through it loses connection. This has happened numerous times so I only use Threema for the messaging part now.
Apple CarPlay
Please update to add an option/toggle that the user can choose to enable to support Apple CarPlay.
It’s whatever.
Found two typos when signing up… here is what I found… errors in quotations. Do you want to continue without enabling Threema Safe? When using Threema Safe “YOUR” can restore your Threema ID, contacts “,and” groups in case you “LOOSE” access to your device.
Problemas
Las llamadas no funcionan muy bien
BOTH SIDES DELETION FEATURE
Guys , your application is perfect, the only missing feature which would make this my and many's best and #1 communication app is the " Delet for both sides " feature. Do it fast please that would make hundreds of people using this app today ! Thanks !!
Amazing app, lacks group perms
For just about anything I recommend this app to the fullest and was worth every penny. However I wish that when I made a group chat with friends I could choose who mod/admins the group-chat. Other than that perfect app
Good app but slow delivery..
If I message my wife within the Wi-Fi home network the messages go fast. If I am 40 miles away it takes on often 5 min to deliver the message. For a paid service that’s a NoGo. I can not really rely on it. Telegram is here really light years upfront. Instant delivery time + a lot of customization and design. I use this messenger on my phone only between me and my wife to not being disturbed by too many people. So it has a double private function for me. But hey Threema Guys.. You are taking long naps.. we have 2023.. your service reminds me those cowboy movies where the post was delivered by horses. But I give 3 stars bc the message is not coming in a bottle over the Great Lake👌👍🏼👍🏼🙏
Happy user
I'm very happy with the threema app which I use to keep up with family members. My only disappointment is that I cannot join in on the group chats using an iPhone. Is there a projected date for adding capability for group chat with iPhone?
This App Is Designed To Alienate You
Maybe there’s some brilliant back-end encryption (though do some searching about that and come to your own conclusions), but the app seems positively designed to make you throw your phone across the room. From the new messages being pushed as software updates *that you can’t turn off* - the button for turning off announcements is ineffective - to the giant green blob concealing the text window the first time you try to use the thing, to the bizarre and completely inexplicable ritual of what seems like making some sort of passcode but isn’t, everything about this thing screams “we, the engineers, hate you and want you to suffer”.
More people need to use this.
Security, privacy, anonymity, what more could you want? The answer is more people using this app.
