Versatile Features, No Gimmicks

Threema is easy to use, provides versatile features, and avoids useless gimmicks.

Text and Voice Messages

Quickly and conveniently send text messages, which can also be edited and deleted after sending. If you don’t have the time to type, voice messages come in handy.

Groups and Distribution Lists

Groups and distribution lists allow to send messages to multiple recipients at once. Groups are managed in a strictly decentralized manner. Except the group members themselves, no one – not even Threema – knows who is member of a group.

Conveniently Chat from the Desktop

Thanks to the desktop app and the web client, chatting from the desktop is just as secure as using the Threema app on your phone. You have full access to your entire chat history as well as all contacts and media files.

Share Files, Media, and Locations

Use Threema to send any type of file. Just like text messages, files are end-to-end encrypted, of course.

Handy Poll Feature

Create polls in no time to gather the other group members’ opinions in an efficient manner.

Voice and Video Calls

Place calls without revealing your phone number. Threema calls are end-to-end encrypted and thus tap-proof. They impress with crystal-clear voice quality and brilliant video quality.

Group Calls

Invite the members of a group chat to join an end-to-end encrypted audio/video group call by tapping a single button.

Screen Sharing on Desktop

With Threema 2.0 for desktop (beta), you can share your screen with other participants in group calls. Instead of having to explain something at length, you can quickly and securely show presentations, documents, or applications directly without any additional tools. This simplifies collaboration and ensures greater clarity in every meeting.

More Features

Private Chats

Hide particularly sensitive chats, and lock them with a PIN or your fingerprint.

Emoji Reactions

React to chat messages with emojis without triggering a push notification on the recipient’s end.

Light and Dark Theme

Select the theme of your liking: light or dark.

Optimized for Tablets

Use Threema on tablets and devices without a SIM card.

Text Formatting

Make your text messages stand out by adding typographical emphasis: bold, italic, and ~strikethrough~

Chat Anonymously

Chat completely anonymously. There is no need to provide a phone number. Read on our blog why should you care about anonymity even if you only communicate with friends.

Optional Contact Synchronization

It’s up to you whether you want to enable contact synchronization or not. No address-book access is required.

Edit and Delete Messages for Everyone

If you have made a typing error, you can easily edit sent messages or delete them on the recipient’s end.

Contact Verification

Verify contacts using their QR code to protect yourself against man-in-the-middle attacks.

Add-ons

WHITELABELING

Available for Threema OnPrem

Thanks to comprehensive whitelabeling options, the Threema OnPrem app can be fully customized to match the company’s corporate design. This ensures a consistent appearance across all communication channels.

  • App name: can be flexibly customized to the company

  • App icon: individual logo for easy recognition

  • Color scheme: seamlessly integrated into the corporate design

DUALLOCK (coming soon)

Available for Threema OnPrem

If a smartphone with the Threema OnPrem app installed is lost, an attacker could, in the worst case, gain complete access to the hardware and isolate the device from the network.

With the globally unique DualLock feature, app access can be blocked, keeping chat content encrypted and inaccessible to unauthorized persons. This ensures that sensitive data is reliably protected in all cases.

EASYCONNECT (coming soon)

Available for Threema OnPrem and Threema Work

Companies often face the challenge of exchanging sensitive information securely, quickly, and easily with external contacts. Private messengers often seem to be the only solution, but they come with risks.

This is where EasyConnect comes in: The company creates an individual QR code and sends it to the external contact. The contact scans the code, opening a secure and confidential communication channel. No complicated registration or detours are necessary. This enables secure corporate communication seamlessly beyond the company’s own solution.

CIRCLES (coming soon)

Available for Threema OnPrem and Threema Work*

In large organizations, employees must be able to quickly and easily find and contact anyone in the company, regardless of department or location. At the same time, roles such as CEOs or department heads require special protection from unwanted inquiries.

With Circles, certain users or groups can be made visible or invisible to others. This keeps internal communication smooth and efficient, while consistently protecting privacy and maintaining hierarchies.
