To chat from the computer, you can either use the desktop app or the web client (“Threema Web”).
In both cases, you need the Threema mobile app (for Android or iOS), and your mobile device must be connected to the Internet.
- On your computer, either download and open the desktop app or open the web client (with a supported browser)
- In the mobile app, select “Desktop/Web,” and activate the scanner:
- Android: Main menu > “Desktop/Web” > "Initiate new Session" / QR code symbol
- iOS: “Settings” > “Desktop/Web” > camera icon in the top right corner
- Use your mobile device to scan the QR code displayed on the computer screen
Hint: To avoid having to scan the QR code each time you (re)start the desktop app / web client, set a session password in the browser before scanning.
With the beta version of Threema 2.0 for desktop, you’re able to chat from the computer even when the mobile device is turned off or not connected to the Internet.
