Speak freely with Confide. With our encrypted messenger app, your mobile communications will be completely confidential and have the same level of privacy as the spoken word. You’ll leave zero trace online with end-to-end encrypted messaging, vanishing messages, screenshot-proof technology, and Incognito Mode. You can even send retractable messages or use our line-by-line text reader. Over 350 million encrypted messages have already been delivered safely and self-destructed with the help of Confide, while the patented ScreenshieldKit technology prevented more than 7.9K screenshot attempts. Here's what you get with Confide: ENCRYPTED MESSAGING Send private texts and sensitive data with end-to-end encryption. (Your data is never saved on our servers.) DISAPPEARING MESSAGES Turn on Confidential Mode, and your messages will disappear after they’re read. Want to keep them for the day? Turn off Confidential Mode. Regardless, all messages will disappear automatically 24 hours after being sent. VANISHING iMESSAGES Confide’s highly-rated iMessage plugin does what no other technology can: erases your iMessages during any conversation. With Confide, you can compose and send self-destructive messages via iMessage. SCREENSHOT PREVENTION Confide’s patented technology ensures messages cannot be screenshotted by their recipients. Passports, credit cards, personal docs, and sensitive messages stay protected. PRIVATE AND GROUP MESSAGING Enjoy all of the privacy perks of this secret text app, like anonymous text, safe chat, and private texting – whether you’re 1-to-1 messaging or using group chat. THREADED CONVERSATIONS Add a layer of security to group texts. Quickly start a thread within the chat experience to keep the momentum going – without disrupting an ongoing group chat conversation. INCOGNITO MODE Stay anonymous. Unlike other encrypted messenger apps that announce when a new user has joined, Incognito Mode ensures you become undiscoverable to the people you don’t want to be seen by. RETRACT UNREAD MESSAGES Make private messaging even more private with the option to unsend unread messages. Change your mind? Retract! ADDITIONAL FEATURES: * Create nicknames for your contacts * Switch themes

So if you’re not able to get a verification email, don’t bother writing to them because they’ll only give you a really bizarre reply and just wait, because it’ll either finally get with the program or they will disappear! ### 2/5 — confide - Private messenger *2025-09-24, version 11.0.4* $5.00 a week. What a joke. I don’t know if it runs or not. I can’t afford to run it. ### 1/5 — Overcharge *2025-09-11, version 11.0.4* Sent one text one time on a trial and the app just kept charging. Even though there was no money they kept a tab and built up a huge amount and I am blocked from all apps u til I pay for a service I never used. What happened to the days when u didn’t have money T pay and the app would just stop working g no they now force you o to payments. ### 1/5 — Not as described *2025-07-14, version 11.0.4* Does not work unless recipient clicks on link that takes them to a website ### 2/5 — Ad pops up *2025-05-21, version 11.0.4* Ad pops up to subscribe everytime you use the app. ### 3/5 — NOT free. *2025-04-29, version 11.0.4* I thought this was supposed to be free for the basic app, but when I tried logging in for the first time, it’s free for ONE week and then it is $4.99 / week. I’m sure it’s a great app, but I don’t know that I want to pay $20 a month for it. ### 1/5 — Free Trial is not true *2025-03-14, version 11.0.3* There’s no free trial. After selecting the 7 days trial, my credit card was charged right away ### 1/5 — Could be more explanatory *2025-02-25, version 11.0.3* I paid the subscription and found out after I could not get a line number through them. Cancelled subscription after a few minutes but the subscription will be up to this day next year and if I want to re enroll I have to pay for it again. But the thing is it is not what I thought it was when I uploaded and subscribed. I should be charged only for the day used. ## Frequently asked questions about Confide ### What does Confide do?
