Threema: Create backup on Windows Phone

If you want to change your smartphone or make a backup of Threema for security, this is quite straightforward. To do this, follow the steps below.

• Open the Threema app on your Windows Phone and tap the three small dots in the lower right corner.
• Now open "Settings" here.
• Swipe left or right until you see the heading "Backup".
• If you only want to save the messages, click on "Save messages". The backup will then be saved in OneDrive after you have entered your OneDrive data.
• If you want to move the Threema ID to another smartphone, then tap on "Create a backup now to transfer your Threema ID to a new phone".
• The backup can be saved in OneDrive. A QR code can also be created, which must then be scanned on the new smartphone. Backups as text are also possible. An encrypted backup code is generated here, which you can send by email.
