Safe Message: secret messages that disappear after they're read. Write a text, add a photo, and send it through WhatsApp, Messages, email or any app you already use. Your contact gets a link, opens it, reads it, and it's gone. They don't need to install anything or create an account. Safe Message doesn't replace your messaging app. It works alongside it, for the messages you'd rather not leave in a chat forever. WHY SAFE MESSAGE • End-to-end encrypted: messages are locked on your iPhone and only the link holds the key, so our server can never read them • Messages self-destruct after they're viewed • Unopened messages are also deleted automatically after a while • Nothing to install for your contact: any phone, any browser • No account, no sign-up • Send a text, a photo, or both • Photos you take in the app aren't saved to your library unless you choose • No message history: sent messages aren't stored on your phone HOW IT WORKS 1. Write your message and add a photo 2. Choose how to send it: WhatsApp, Messages, email, or copy the link 3. Your contact opens the link and reads it 4. The message is deleted GOOD TO KNOW Anyone with the link can open the message, so send it only to the person it's meant for. Safe Message can't stop a screenshot. Support: web@qaqee.com
