I see Threema does not require your phone number, but it wants you to download the App/Play Store version. Whereas with WhatsApp you can download the APK file from the site.
This is not only identifies you through Google/Apple services, but is also fundamentally incompatible with software freedom, as few can audit the binaries they receive.
Unless you build your own binaries from the open source project (which has its issue tracker disabled for the public), you are out of luck.

- cpach 5y agoThere are lots of people who know how to audit binaries. It’s not as if auditing source code is something that most people can do.
