Description

Threema is the world’s best-selling secure messenger and keeps your data out of the hands of hackers, corporations, and governments. The service can be used completely anonymously. Threema is open source and offers every feature one would expect from a state-of-the-art instant messenger. The app also allows you to make end-to-end encrypted voice, video, and group calls. Using the desktop app and the web client, you can also use Threema from your desktop.

PRIVACY AND ANONYMITY
Threema is designed from the ground up to generate as little data on servers as possible. Group memberships and contact lists are managed on your device only and never stored on our servers. Messages are immediately deleted after they have been delivered. Local files are stored encrypted on your mobile phone or tablet. All this effectively prevents the collection and misuse of your personal information, including metadata. Threema is fully compliant with the European privacy legislation (GDPR).

ROCK-SOLID ENCRYPTION
Threema end-to-end encrypts all your communication, including messages, voice and video calls, group chats, files, and even status messages. Only the intended recipient, and nobody else, can read your messages. Threema uses the trusted open source NaCl cryptography library for encryption. The encryption keys are generated and safely stored on the users’ devices to prevent backdoor access or copies.

COMPREHENSIVE FEATURES
Threema is not only an encrypted and private messenger but also versatile and feature-rich.

SERVERS IN SWITZERLAND

FULL ANONYMITY

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

1 ★Great idea, but there's no way that I'm going to be able to get family and friends to switch from their current apps just to meet my privacy concerns.
3 ★They made a change which forces all text messages to be condensed. You have to tap a button that says "read on" which will allow you to read that one message in full. You must then condense that message again to see any other message. Would be great if this feature was made optional so we could disable and just see the full text of every message.
4 ★Is great. User friendly and private. The holy combo 👏🏻
5 ★Great app!!! Does what it says, and does it reliably. No stupid ads. No nonsense. Simple, and Straight forward. Way better than other private messaging apps that i have tried in the past... Definitely worth the small fee... I am impressed...
5 ★Love this app and what it does, but it's so difficult to convince people to use APKs to install if you buy this for them. It sounds silly I know. But being able to gift on Android would solve so much in spreading this 🙁 5 stars - I can't fault Threema for Google Play not supporting gifting paid apps.
1 ★Strangely not working? The app is amazing and well worth the money... But for some strange reason it's just completely stopped working. It can not establish a connection anymore. Sad if I had to find a new app because I really love using this one 😔
5 ★very good but lately my message sent time is sometimes an hour early or late
5 ★Great App and thumbs up for the latest update. Long distance calling (Latin America+US to Europe) is w/o comparison, just crystal clear and no drops ever, and being able to send in original quality is prime for artists. Yes, still hoping for a (retroactive? 🤯) disappearing message feature (just add it with a security disclaimer) and the ability to give messages in group chats a thumbs up/down (we're all busy and it'd be just the right level of feedback sometimes). Keep up the good work!!
5 ★New Sending Sound Hello there, I noticed, that since I updated the Threema App, today (I'm on Android.), there's a new sound when sending messages. I really dislike this new sound, and therefore wanted to change to the old one, but I couldn't find an option for it. There's only an option to disable this sound completely. Do you have any solution to change it back? Thanks in advance
5 ★This is the best messaging app ever. The most secure platform there ever. I have few suggestions.. Please elaborate. 1. Please consider adding stickers in chat. Like animated stickers. Without these, chat is boring sometimes. Stickers are one of the best thing. 2. If you can add global search, it will be best. (by title only) 3. Photos should have option to send original or compressed. 4. Add more and more features in upcoming update (while streamlining previous features.). Thank you.
5 ★Great application in the functional simplicity. Gets 5 stars with hope that next update fixes the problem with push notifications not working in Android 9 and 8. [Update: Was fixed a while back - awesome dev team] Swiss perfection displayed in a great application. Let's see the updated fix soon dev team. I know it is cold there, but I'm sure you will come through.
4 ★I've got notification today on Samsung S20 that Threema is requiring access to Threema account. Combined with fact that I neither used nor launched Threema for weeks it seems suspicious. If this is change in architecture of the software users should be notified before such permission requests as your users may also be afraid of state actors which could be in position to substitute binary with other.
