Anonymity guaranteed - no registration

There is no connection to a telephone number and no collection of user identification data. The TeleGuard ID is your very personal identification number that you need in order to connect with your friends. Every TeleGuard user receives an ID number and a QR code, which can be sent out to get in touch with others.

Designed to be the most secure messenger in the world

Swisscows has set itself the task of protecting its users from data misuse in every situation. As the smartphone is the most widely used medium in the world nowadays, a secure messenger is indispensable.

Highly secure and modern server

All servers are located in the data centers in Switzerland. A complex encryption system is used for all transmitted data and absolutely no user data is stored on the servers. Everything is absolutely anonymous.

That's why TeleGuard is better than the others

TeleGuard encrypts every message and voice call with the one of the best encryption algorithm currently available: SALSA 20. Since our servers are in Switzerland, we are not subject to the data protection laws of the EU / USA and do not have to pass on any data.

How is my privacy secured?

HTTPS, end-to-end encryption, deletion of messages from the server after reading. No user data, neither IP address nor other, is recorded or stored.

★★★★☆ Jeka Mtl · Apr 13, 2026

I really like this app, but today I simply cannot connect to the server. My contacts are experiencing the same issue. Does anyone know how this could be fixed?

★★★★☆ Ayman Alzhrani · Jul 31, 2026

Very good but a little slow with videos and pics and sometimes when I download a video it lags and exit the app and when I return to download the video it doesn't download anymore and keep resetting the download process

★★★★★ Ashraf Abu-Nahel · Nov 29, 2025

Good app for private business/work very secure and fast

★★★★★ San San · May 11, 2026

But it needs one difficult thing every day I am making ringing phone apps but then when I enter a guy's teleguard ID it suddenly saids that you cannot chat with the guy even it saids you cannot call the guy from teleguard even against it saids that you need to scan the QR code from the guy in teleguard then once you could chat with the guy in teleguard.

★★☆☆☆ Affan Akhtar · Sep 7, 2026

It is not letting me register saying no connection to server, when I used it for the first time it let me register but due to something I deleted it and now when I am trying to back and make new ID as I forgot the old it is not letting me register

★★☆☆☆ Jadyn · Oct 29, 2025

It was working perfectly fine, but since the update it killed it, all it says is "can't connect to server" when I have internet. Can the dev possibly explain why this is happening and possibly fix it.

★☆☆☆☆ Dario Ackermann · Apr 6, 2026

The Implementation of the Encryption has massive holes. Let a quick Google Search tell you :)

★☆☆☆☆ Wraith Writer · Jul 20, 2026

I had been using this app just fine, and out of the blue, it says no connection to the server. I've tried various suggestions to fix the issue but still get it happening and am not sure what is going on with it.
