Squealock helps protect you and your team against blackmail, smishing, phishing, spoofing, and ransomware attacks. TEAM MEETINGS You can join or share a meeting link with other members or non-users of the app, and they can even participate from their personal computers without the need for any installations. For security reasons, all meeting links are protected with a randomly generated password by default. NO PHONE NUMBER OR EMAIL REQUIRED You only create a unique userID that can be changed at any time. When changed, the old userID becomes void and cannot be reused by anyone. UPGRADAGLE 30 GB FREE STORAGE Enjoy 30GB of storage for contents while in team mode. Files remain encrypted on our servers indefinitely until you delete them. STEALTH MODE Messages sent in stealth mode are encrypted, self-destruct locally and from the server once read and cannot be recovered. TEAM MODE The team mode option allows users to securely collaborate in 1-on-1 or Group conversations and comes with powerful access control functionalities. SCREENSHOT AND SCREEN RECORDING PREVENTION Screenshots and recordings are prevented and a notification is sent when someone attempts a screen capture. SELECTIVE BLOCKING Should you wish to no longer receive a certain file type (voice message, images, documents, etc...) from a contact, you can simply choose to apply a partial block.
