Read then get rid with Privatext

“This message will self-destruct in…”is becoming a recurring theme in messaging these days especially after the wake of the NSA snooping scandal. The new private texting app, Privatext, promises to secure your texts and photos messages with its self-destruct function. It erases your message from your phone, your recipient’s phone, as well as Privatext’s servers after an appointed period of time or after it has been read. It can even delete messages you already sent before they are read by your recipient, if you act fast enough.

It is already up for free download on the iTunes App Store with versions for Android, Windows, and BlackBerry supposedly coming out soon. Privatext is also offering a paid version of the app for businesses.
