Triftel undoubtedly has all of the commonly available features present in the other apps, but it also incorporates some new exciting features which makes it unique. | FEATURES | | PRIVATE CHAT | Now, 'Chat in your own extended privacy.' This feature incorporates pin protected chats with a default message timer. That means the messages of the sender or receiver would be deleted after a particular time period which is up to you to decide. Also, what is the point of getting notified after a screen shot has been taken? With this feature, no one would be able to screenshot your conversation, which you made with trust. | WALK N TALK | Do you have a habit of checking your phone while walking or driving? If yes, then we have got your front covered. With the use of a back camera, you can check your messages and respond to them while having a constant knowledge about what's going on in front of you. P.S - WE DO NOT RECOMMEND/PROMOTE USING PHONE WHILE DRIVING. | MULTI DEVICE LOGIN | Enables you to log in to your account through not only one but multiple devices. Any activity on one device is automatically mirrored to the other, so if you start a chat conversation on one device, it is duplicated on other devices easily. You can control the sessions on other devices from your current device and can terminate them on a single swipe. | VISIBILITY | With this feature, the user has the privilege to stay online and use the application without giving away the online status.
