'Ephemeral' Messaging App
Do you remember when Snapchat was all the rage because the messages disappeared once the recipient saw it?
It was popular with younger users with all of its filters and crazy add-ons, but that was about it.
Most of us can think of times when they want to send something very confidential or very personal that they want to make sure never gets out.
If you find yourself in that situation, there’s an app called Confide that you may want to look into.
Those working as confidential sources or when in sensitive discussions know that keeping the messages secure is a must.
The way that the app protects against screenshots is that it requires the persons viewing the message to run their finger over each line to see the text underneath.
It’s certainly a possibility that someone could use video to try and capture the entire message, so it’s possible to recreate the message.
