Xessages vs Encrypt Photos, Videos & Files

(Pronounced ex-a-ges, like Messages but replace Mess with X). X your messages out. Forever. Send or receive a private message in the Messages app. Set a self-destruct time on that message. Send a photo or a text. Nothing is stored or saved. Enjoy. For people wondering how to delete Messages Apps - Go to "More", tap it, swipe to Xessages and delete it.

Keep personal photos, videos, documents and messages private before you share them. Encrypt Photos, Videos & Files protects content on your iPhone or iPad, then lets you share the encrypted result using the apps you already use. No account or cloud upload is required for encryption and decryption. ENCRYPT, THEN SHARE Choose a photo, video or file, or type a private message. Protect it with a password and share the encrypted content separately from the password. Original media quality is preserved when importing photos and videos. OPEN SHARED CONTENT Receiving and decryption are free. Open an encrypted file or paste encrypted text, then enter the password from the sender. Shareable opening instructions help recipients install the compatible app and get started. SEND TO A SPECIFIED DEVICE For additional control, Pro senders can encrypt for a recipient's device using a receiving credential. Recipients can share their credential as a message, file or QR code. Compare fingerprints before sending. Opening this content requires both the password and the matching receiving credential's private key on the recipient's device.
