Strings Messaging App Allow Users to Delete Sent Messages Permanently

A New iOS messaging app, Strings will allow its users to delete sent text messages and images permanently which they have shared with other users.

Strings App will delete the message from recipients’ phones even after the recipients have opened that message. The app will require all the parties to already have the app installed on their phones.

The description of the Strings app in the Apple store is like this –

“Strings is a refreshing new way to share what you want with exactly who you want (and take it back, if you want). Strings is a real-time messaging application that makes interactive, personal conversations safe, easy, and fun. Use Strings to:

• Start conversations with only the friends selected. Add or remove people at any time.
• Decide if and when content is deleted, immediately and permanently.
• Control if other users download your photos and videos or share them with others. “

So if you are communicating with someone using this app, then you need to worry if you have sent some wrong message to a second user. Once you delete the sent text, it will be deleted from the phone of the second user. Strings work with texts, emails, videos, and photos.

According to Strings, “We believe you deserve a way to spontaneously and fearlessly share your most intimate moments and personal thoughts from your smartphone. So we developed Strings. With Strings, you can say whatever you want, and share any video or photograph you want, with whomever you want. And take it back if you want. And your friend, relative, workmate, or partner cannot share it with anyone else. Unless you want them to.

Strings are based on your phone number, just like texting. Only people you add as a friends can share with you on Strings. There are no privacy policies. Nothing was sent by mistake that you cannot retrieve.

On Strings, you own your content. Not us. Not advertisers. You decide who sees your content. Not us. Not advertisers. You pull all the Strings.”

With Strings you can message or share something with any individual or in the group just like other messaging apps such as Messenger and WhatsApp. But what is extraordinary in Strings is its variety of privacy ‘controls’.

You can control who can save and download the images and videos which is sent by you from the Strings app. You can also delete a sent message or an entire conversation thread. The message will be deleted permanently from the service. According to Strings, any content that a sender deletes will be removed “immediately and permanently” from the phone of the sender, recipient, and the Strings servers.

Strings also give its users a list of “Ten Commandments of Sharing”. The app is currently available for iPhone users and you can download the app in the iOS App Store.
