Threema is a paid and proprietary end-to-end encrypted instant messaging service. The service claims to be based on the privacy by design principles by not requiring a phone number or other personally identifiable information. Threema uses a user ID, created after the initial app launch by a random generator. You must pay €5 at one time, for using Threema. If you’re a Threema user and liked it, message me: SU2J6BEX and talk about it :)
