After last year’s spying scandal everyone’s focus and attention goes to increasing personal security and protecting our conversations and data from unwanted snooping. Confide is an app that addresses the issue of security by allowing communication via encrypted messages that delete themselves once they’ve been read.
It may sound like something taken from a spy movie but Confide is real and free to download from the app store. When you use it you can communicate with anyone confidentially through encrypted messages that disappear when you’re done reading them. With Confide you can send a message to any e-mail address, and when your recipients receive the message they will be prompted to download the app so they can read it.
To read the messages you sent the recipient must drag his/her finger across the text to reveal each letter, because the text is hidden behind a colored thick line. This may feel strange to do each time you read a message but in fact it’s an extra layer of security added to the app by its creators, which explain that this way even if someone takes a screenshot of the message they won’t be able to read it. And once you’re done reading and you’ve revealed the whole text the message will delete itself forever and the sender will receive a receipt. With confide you can share your deepest secrets without fear of unwanted listeners!
