Read More: Messaging Apps That Use End-to-End Encryption

This isn’t the first time that Viber has introduced a self-destruct feature. They already offer the ability to delete an entire conversation, so the slate gets wiped clean on both your Android and the recipient’s phone. Pretty cool, right? Of course, if a screenshot were to be taken, those words could still be immortalized forever. So, be careful what you send, even on more “secure” messaging apps. The same as on Whatsapp and Signal, Viber also offers end-to-end encryption, another benefit to better protect your conversations. The following are the three key benefits of Viber’s secret messaging feature.

User-Friendly to Send

Sending secret messages on Viber is very easy. All you need to do is take a photo or video, or choose an existing one from your gallery. Before hitting send, set the timer to 1, 3, 7, or 10 seconds. Once the message is seen by your recipient, it will disappear. The only thing left is a timestamp to show where the photo or video once existed.

Save Your Phone’s Data

Videos and photos can take up a lot of data storage. Unless you’re sending a precious message, like your baby’s first steps for instance, it probably doesn’t need to be treasured forever. So, save some space on your phone, and send a secret message using Viber instead.

Keep Your Secrets

1 to 7 seconds isn’t a long time to take a screenshot. So, whether you sent a bad prom shot or your inedible first attempt at baking, your present embarrassment (probably) won’t last into the future. Viber’s secret messaging service makes it easier to keep your secrets safe. But if you’d be devastated by the whole world seeing your photo, don’t send it. Otherwise, go ahead and have fun with Viber’s secret messaging.

How do I create a Kik account?

Unlike other popular messaging apps, including WhatsApp, Kik doesn’t have you input your phone number to create an account. Instead, you create a messaging account with your email and a password. You can then find your friends by searching for their usernames or by searching for their phone numbers once they’ve entered those into the app.

Who uses Kik?

Bottom line? Lots and lots of people use Kik. From 2010 to 2012, the Kik app attracted over four million users. But by 2016, Kik had exploding, drawing in more than 275 million users.

Why would I use Kik?

Kik operates in a way that’s very similar to your phone’s normal texting plan. If you’re worried about going over your texting limits, Kik can be a great way to save your texts for when you’re away from a Wi-Fi connection. Unlike texting on your phone, you won’t run down your texting plan with Kik. Instead, you connect via your data plan or Wi-Fi. Most people use Kik as an email, social media chat, or texting alternative.

What are Kik features?

Kik has some features that not all Android texting apps provide. Its live typing feature, for example, lets you know when the person you’re texting is typing. It also lets you know when your text recipient has read your text.

Another useful Kik features is its customizable notification sounds – you can change the noise your phone makes when a certain person texts you. Additionally, Kik’s code scanning is a unique feature. Each Kik user has a personalized code that can be accessed in the app’s settings. To add a user with their Kik code, you can simply give Kik permission to access your phone’s camera and then scan another user’s Kik code to add them.

While you’re Kik-ing up a storm, don’t waste all your memory and storage space. Instead, optimize your phone with PSafe Total. PSafe’s Memory Booster gives you options for clearing out unneeded files from storage and optimizes your data — all designed to speed up your device.
