## Description

Anonymity guaranteed—no registration and no collection of personal data. Each user gets a TeleGuard-ID and a QR code to connect with friends without sharing phone numbers. 

Designed for maximum security, TeleGuard encrypts every message and voice call with SALSA20 and uses servers in Switzerland with no user data stored on them. Communications are end-to-end encrypted; you can text, voice chat, share media and files, create groups, and verify contacts by scanning QR codes.
