Messages deleted after 24 hours
This application offers its users a communication system based on privacy, so you can talk about personal issues, sensitive or any other confidential with the security of not leaving any trace and without the worry that third parties may be reading what you write (or so say their developers).
The app's messages expire after 24 hours and it has a protection system to avoid screenshots. At the same time, it is not necessary to provide phone numbers, since it is possible to search for other users manually through a nickname or alias. It also offers the following features:
- Minimalistic user interface.

- Protection to avoid captures.

- Customizable user profile.
Requirements and additional information:
- Minimum operating system requirements: Android 6.0.
