Sexting has come a long way from the days of pushing the number 8 button enough times to get the letter of choice. The simple art of sexting has come of age alongside the smartphone and there are now popular apps that enable sexting without sending a text message.
Apart from the added security, these apps can be a good alternative for those of us without unlimited sms messages.
We’ve compiled a list of three popular sexting apps and what they and their clients say about the performance. If you have any experience with these apps let us know in the comment section below.
Confide
For those of us who spent the weekend binging the new Netflix show You and are seriously re-considering our cyber privacy, confide claims it is able to
“Keep your messages safe and to ensure they can only be read by the intended recipients..Messages disappear forever after they are read once, making them as private and secure as the spoken word…Confide’s patent-pending ScreenShield technology keeps your communication safe by preventing screenshots of your messages.”
Kaboom
If your sexting partner is not keen on on transitioning over to an all new app to sext back and forth with you, but you still want to protect your privacy, then Kaboom may be a good free choice with “self-destructing messages” for your partner.
The Kaboom app claims to work with any social media platform by providing a link to the message or picture and a warning that it is timed to self-destruct.
Dust
Dust makes the bold claim that users can stay completely anonymous as long as they want using this app.
Dust states;
You can erase your messages off other people’s phones…
No messages are permanently stored on phones or servers. Messages are heavily encrypted and not accessible to anyone, even us.
All your messages automatically “dust” (erase) in 24 hours or as soon as they’re read – you choose which.
The sender’s identity is hidden in 1-to-1 messages and we detect and notify you if any screenshots are taken.
Dust is the only messenger where you can erase your messages from their phone.
