As an app development company, we’re busy day in and day out further developing the Threema apps. Here’s a quick look at what we’re currently working on.
More and more messaging apps are introducing usernames, allowing users to communicate without having to share their phone number with everyone. This is certainly a step in the right direction. However, it’s not enough to provide comprehensive privacy protection. To protect users’ privacy, anonymity has to be part of the system architecture.
Do you need advice from a colleague but aren’t sure whether they’re available right now? Or would you like to set your out-of-office message directly in Threema Work? With the new availability status, you can see at a glance who’s available.
To better tailor the Threema app to our users’ needs, we’re introducing a new survey feed in the Threema Channel. In this feed, periodic user surveys will be conducted to help us identify relevant features and implement them in the best possible way.
Five years ago today, on May 15, 2021, WhatsApp’s controversial new privacy policy came into effect. The update sparked global criticism and raised public awareness of the economic incentives behind data-driven online platforms. With users spending more time online, ever-growing volumes of data, and powerful new AI systems, the concerns raised back then are now even more justified than in 2021.
Protecting locally stored data is a crucial aspect of any secure messaging app, particularly when server-side storage is intentionally avoided, as is the case with Threema. On Android, the Keystore offers a system-level solution for securely managing cryptographic keys.
The wave of attacks targeting Signal and WhatsApp users has not only reached top-level politicians in Germany but also sparked confusion: while some speak of a “hack,” others blame the victims. Here’s why both takes fall short.
For companies with the highest security requirements, Threema OnPrem offers a sophisticated new feature: thanks to DualLock, chats are now protected even if a mobile device is lost or stolen.
New design, redesigned workflows, and additional features: Threema 7.1 for iOS offers more than just Liquid Glass.
