TeleGuard

TeleGuard is a messenger from Swisscows that uses an app ID and QR code rather than requiring a phone number.

Our take

Choose it if your contacts also want that ID-based messaging workflow.

Text, files and calls are available without a phone-number contact system according to the provider.

Keep in mind: Privacy claims are the provider's statements, not a guarantee of anonymity or security in every circumstance.

What you can do

  • Exchange text and voice messages
  • Send files and make calls
  • Verify a contact ID by QR code

Good for

  • People whose contacts agree to use the same messenger.

Consider alternatives for

  • Someone who needs interoperability with ordinary SMS or an assurance of absolute anonymity.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 12.1.
  • Privacy claims are the provider's statements, not a guarantee of anonymity or security in every circumstance.

Privacy & permissions

The publisher describes encrypted communication and ID-based contacts; verify the current policy and device security.
