On July 8, 2026, Threema GmbH was converted into Threema AG. Previously, the company operated through two legal entities: Threema GmbH and Threema Holding AG. To simplify the corporate structure, these entities were merged into a single company: Threema AG.
This change has no impact on our users. The company’s headquarters will remain in Switzerland. All contracts and obligations of Threema GmbH have been transferred to Threema AG and will remain unchanged.
WhatsApp has been open to third-party messaging services since fall 2025. Under the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), the platform is required to support interoperability with alternative chat services. While we support the DMA’s underlying goals, we have decided not to implement interoperability with WhatsApp for several reasons.
Many aspects of our lives have become digital. The more time we spend in the digital sphere, the more we face decisions that have a direct impact on our privacy. However, it often goes unnoticed in what way these decisions put our privacy at risk.
Every year on January 28, the international Data Privacy Day is held. We take this day (or the week it falls in) as an opportunity to highlight once again the significance of data protection and online privacy – and each year, we must stress that these topics are more important than ever before.
Over the past days, push notifications and the impact they have on data privacy has become a hot topic not only in tech circles but also in mainstream media. The debate was sparked by a letter from US Senator Ron Wyden, asking the Department of Justice to allow push-service providers, in particular Apple and Google, to inform the public about government requests for so-called “push tokens.” The topic has stirred up some confusion, which is why we would like to set a few things straight.
As they say, a tidy house equals a tidy mind. Arguably, the same applies to the digital space, which is why the latest Threema versions for Android and iOS come with a handy little feature to tidy up your chats for you.
This probably sounds familiar: you receive a message that has little relevance at the moment but to which you’ll want to refer at a later point – like a shopping list, travel directions, or event details.
To increase the availability of our business solutions and provide customers around the world with professional advice, we have launched a partner program. It lays the foundation for a global network of IT service providers who resell Threema Work and Threema OnPrem.
Group calls become available across the board, unleashing their full potential and allowing all Threema Work users to conduct end-to-end encrypted voice and video calls in group chats.
