Wickr Me
Wickr is the safest messenger in the world! With it, you can send text and voice messages, but cannot make video calls. Also, the application doesn’t support voice calls, text, and voice messaging to mobile numbers.
The peculiarity of Wickr is that messages will self-destruct on the device of the sender, as well as on the device of the recipient after a certain time. The user can set the timer for erasing the message. The time can be set from one second to several days.
In the messenger, you can create a group chat with up to 10 people. If the user has favorite contacts, they can be marked as “favorites”.
With Wickr users can share photos and videos. You can take a photo or video directly in the messenger by clicking on the camera icon in the chat, and you can also download files from your phone or from the cloud. Messenger allows you to attach multiple media files at the same time.
Photos can be edited directly in the app. Of course, it’s not photoshop, but in the application, you can change the size of the image, crop it, change colors or add something of your own.
Another security element of the Wickr Messenger is the lack of an opportunity to take a screenshot of correspondence.
Since the main idea of the messenger is secure chatting, the developers have decided not to introduce entertainment elements and stickers. But there is a plus in this: there is no advertising content in the application.
Another notable feature of Wickr is the Wickr Timed Feed. Here, users can share photos with their friends, creating a semblance of a social networking feed. Such a feed can be shared on Facebook, but only Wickr users will see it there as well. All content in the feed will be deleted within 24 hours.
Main functions:
- Message Shredder;
- Message timer;
- Multimedia end-to-end encryption;
- Group chats for up to ten users;
- Stickers, emoji, and more.
