If there have been times you have wished you could truly keep your text messages private, you might be interested in a new app called Confide – a super-private texting app that destroys your messages so you're always off the record.
Messages are encrypted end-to-end and can't be forwarded or read by anybody but the intended recipient (not even Confide's staff). Your words are hidden upon receipt and only reveal a couple at a time when the recipient swipes over them. That means your texts are screenshot-proof, and if someone even attempts a screenshot, you're notified immediately. Once your message is read, it permanently self-destructs. Of course, if the message is coming from a cyberbully it makes it harder to prove what they are doing, but it also means that if you are receiving messages from someone who might be tempted to send a less than nice message, you (or your kids) might just not look at them. This is just something else to know about.
