  • The output of such tools has to be taken with a grain of salt.

    Yes, Threema is available as a sideloaded APK directly from shop.threema.ch. We don't consider that a bad thing.

    The sensor list is wrong. Threema just uses two sensor interfaces: The accelerometer and the proximity sensor to determine if the phone is currently held next to the ear and automatically select the speaker accordingly. The feature can be turned off in Settings > Chat > Use proximity sensor.
