Wickr's developers told me they plan to move to a freemium system with in-app purchases, such as longer message lifespans.Įach message is encrypted with a different key, and the keys are stored on users' devices-not with Wickr. In the background, Wickr is erasing and overwriting the data so it can't be recovered with digital forensics techniques. When it runs out, an explosion animation devours your message. The clock starts running once the recipient taps to open the message, and it's a literal digital timer displaying the remaining time down to the second for each message. Messages can last anywhere from three seconds to six days. In the app's Settings, you define the default life span of each message you send over Wickr. Snapchat offered a similar feature in their much-maligned picture messaging app, but Wickr actually delivers on secure, ephemeral messaging. One of my favorite spy tropes is the self-destructing tapes used in the opening of Mission: Impossible episodes. (Opens in a new window) Read Our Viber - Free Phone Calls & Text 3.0 (for iPhone) Review The difference is that Wickr boldly notes promises that your personal information will not be directly stored on their servers, but rather as a cryptographic "representation." Its simple sign-up system does the normal things like asking for a username, password, and prompting you for your email address and phone number so other users can find you. Right off the bat you'll notice some differences about how Wickr presents itself if you're familiar with other messenger apps like Viber and Snapchat. Though the app rightly puts security first, Wickr is easy enough to use for your everyday messaging. This makes secure messaging app Wickr (iOS App Store, free), which destroys messages after a set period of time, all the more attractive. We're in a funny period where society obliges us to stay as connected as possible, but doing so safely is increasingly difficult. Security measures mean no syncing between multiple devices.
