VERY GOOD User Rating

Threema is a highly acclaimed and widely used secure messenger, offering unparalleled data protection against hackers, corporations, and governments. The service prioritizes user anonymity, allowing you to maintain complete discretion while using the app. With its open-source nature, Threema boasts all the cutting-edge features expected from an instant messenger.

In addition to secure messaging, Threema enables encrypted voice, video, and group calls to ensure the utmost privacy in all forms of communication. Users can also conveniently access Threema from their desktop through the desktop app and web client.

Privacy and Anonymity

Threema is meticulously designed to minimize server-generated data. Group memberships and contact lists are solely managed on your device, never stored on Threema servers. Messages are promptly deleted after delivery, while local files remain encrypted on your mobile device or tablet. These measures effectively safeguard personal information and metadata from collection and misuse. Threema fully complies with the stringent European privacy legislation (GDPR).

Rock-Solid Encryption

Threema employs end-to-end encryption for all types of communication: messages, voice and video calls, group chats, files, and even status messages. Your messages can only be read by the intended recipient; no third parties can access them. Threema utilizes the trusted open-source NaCl cryptography library for encryption. Encryption keys are generated and securely stored on users' devices, eliminating any potential backdoor access or unauthorized duplication.

Full Anonymity
