Threema's contact management
- You can tell from the traffic light system what level of security a contact has. Green dot means very safe, because a personal identification has taken place by scanning the personal QR code. If the dot is orange, Threema has checked the identity by SMS or email; a red dot is an unknown contact.
- By the way: The name Threema has developed from what the Swiss developers of the app stand for - secure communication without unwanted readers. And that's why the original name was EEEMA - derived from "End-to-End Encrypting Messaging Application". Because of the many "it" it became Threema.
