Never change phones

I spent an hour, and I am completely unable to move my conversations to the new phone. They have got this so that you can move your ID and your contacts, but you cannot move your conversations, so I’ve lost everything for the last year all because I bought a new phone! Total junk!

문자 자동삭제 기능

대화방 별로 보낸 문자 혹은 읽은 문자가 자동으로 삭제되도록 설정할수 있으면 더 좋을것 같습니다. 6시간 12시간 24시간 이런 단위로요!

Non stop glitching

Threema is finally being innovative and caring”Private Messaging” to the next level. Thank you for taking us users seriously 🫶🏼

I’m staying with them, for finally they have found their energy to reinvent themselves to prime time! Threema will be be big!

The very best in secure messaging. Thanks so much.

Still a strong 5 star rating.

I have used Threema for several years now and think it is absolutely excellent. Not only that but the quality of Support is superb.
I have no problem whatsoever recommending Threema without reservation

複数台端末だと使いにくい

複数台にインストールしていると起動するたびエラー表示になってしまう。何台もの端末で使いたいのにちょっと不便すぎた。またSMS認証もできなかった(電話認証はできたけど)。今どきスマホ1台でしかメッセンジャー使わない人っているのかな?

Works great, a pleasure to use

I’m using Threema for a least 10 years and love it.
Some challenges with switching android to IOS, but other than that a wonderful app!

とってもつかいやすい

Absolutely brilliant

Secure , well built UI, reliable

Wish Americans would WTFU!

3ma is great. Way better than either whatsapp or signal or telegram…. Eons better. But Americans would rather stake themselves as the internal colonially displaced subjects whose existence is permitted insofar as it relates to the economic system of capitalism alone.

Muy fácil de usar

If I could give it 0 stars I would

The app constantly takes 30 minutes or more just to deliver a message, and many times just disconnects from the network for no reason.

Missing self-destructing messages like in Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, Session, Wickr, SimpleX.

We’re living in 2025 and Threema still doesn’t have self-destructing messages.

Feature request: Add self-destructing messages.

Edit: Useless messenger with no self-destructing messages even in 2026

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to write down your suggestion. We’re happy to review it as part of our internal evaluation process. Although there are currently no disappearing messages, it is possible to edit and delete messages manually. You can find more information about that feature here: https://threema.com/faq/editdelete

Terrible and expensive

Can’t believe they charged me $7

Great app, no incredible!

Easily one of the worst paid app I ever used

I don’t know how an app can be so buggy and unpredictable in this age. And this is a paid app for God’s sake! It’s easily one of the worst paid apps I have ever used. Always something or the other.. it doesn’t connect.. those red and orange lines at the top. Have to restart so frequently. Honestly surprised how this is still on the AppStore. Very frustrating user experience.
