Comments on TeleGuard for Android

★★★★★ 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.

★★★★★ Chas · Feb 1, 2026

Very safe for new (and existing) users. No email address or telephone number required for registration. You are issued with a 9-digit permanent code, to identify you to your personally invited contacts - so no spam messages received !

★★★★☆ Winston Briggs · Sep 24, 2025

Users should be able to make edits when a message has already been sent. And I want to know if when a user deletes a message does it also deletes in the counterparty's phone. If not can you make that option available. Also delete for feature and the ability to edit a message that's been sent where you made a typo error and in the groups or channels can you make it possible for members to be interactive with other channel members. That will really boost the apps usability and attract more users

★★☆☆☆ Laurent · Apr 15, 2026

During calls, the sound is bad. It cuts out all the time. What can be done to be able to have normal calls?

★★☆☆☆ Illegally Wiretapped O/S · Jun 7, 2026

It was a great idea But, it has no protection against cross application data bleed that Google uses to hijack apps so it's useless if Google can just inject 1mb payload in on the back end and you can't stop them no security works when the attackers BEHIND THE WALL and can't be set as default messaging app which defeats the point of really trying to get google spyware out the device

★☆☆☆☆ Kevin Curtis · Nov 16, 2025

Since the update on 13/11 2025 to 4.0.9 I have had no connection to the server. Tried reinstallation. Device restart. Still the same. App was great before the update

★★☆☆☆ 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.
