  • New: end-to-end encrypted group calls (audio and video)

  • New: agree/disagree feature also available in group chats

  • New: edit received images on the fly and send them right back (tap and hold > pencil icon)

  • New: send and receive messages with Perfect Forward Secrecy

  • Support for new chat server protocol

  • Security improvements:

  • Improve chat server authentication protocol to prevent a payload confusion and a theoretical replay issue

  • Introduce an additional warning message if a connection from another device using the same Threema ID has been detected since the last time that the app was used

  • Disable compression of Threema Safe backups to rule out the theoretical possibility of a compression oracleThanks to Kenny Paterson, Matteo Scarlata and Kien Tuong Truong of the Applied Cryptography Group at ETH Zurich for bringing these issues to our attention
