   Top Positive Comment by cityroler · Apr 28, 2017

   always End-to-End encrypted; servers in the EU; high quality audio and video calls;

   Positive comment by gnudesign · Sep 9, 2020

   Privacy and security focused, lot of features but way behind Telegram's user experience design.

   Positive comment by Guest · Jul 16, 2018

   It is fully open source instead Telegram (server and client).

   Threema vs Telegram Comments

   Positive comment by John Fastman · May 24, 2018

   Proper end-to-end encryption makes Threema a good private way to communicate. But not as good as open source alternatives like Signal, for which you can check the source code. But Threema is way better than Facebook Messenger or 'Allo, which come from privacy-destroying companies.

   Positive comment by egami · Mar 28, 2018

   This is in my opinion the absolut number one if you are looking for privacy.

   Session vs Telegram Comments

   Positive comment by Guest · Jan 29, 2022

   1. Session does not require a phone number unlike telegram.
   2. Unless you create a seperate secret chat, telegram has acess to your chats.
   3. Telegram isn't an open source software.

   Positive comment by Ryan Balloway · Feb 13, 2020
