Key Features

Confidential Messenger: Confide allows users to have secure and private conversations, with the vendor claiming it provides the same level of privacy and security as spoken conversations.

Encryption: According to the vendor, all messages between Confide users are end-to-end encrypted, ensuring that only the intended recipients can read them. The vendor states that encryption keys are generated locally on each device, and the private key never leaves the device.

Transport Layer Security: Confide utilizes Transport Layer Security (TLS) for all communication, which the vendor claims provides an additional layer of security, privacy, and data integrity.

Ephemeral Messages: According to the vendor, Confide messages self-destruct after being read once, preventing them from being archived, printed, or forwarded. The vendor states that messages are deleted from the servers and wiped from the device, leaving no trace behind.

Screenshot-Proof: Confide incorporates patented ScreenShield technology to prevent screenshots, ensuring that impermanent messages cannot be made permanent through screenshots. The vendor claims that on iOS and Android, the reading experience unveils only one line of the message at a time, with the sender's name not simultaneously visible.
