We All Have Secrets to Share with Friends |
Secrets always have the tendency of getting leaked. Many
messaging applications are taking advantage of the word "secret" as
the word is mind medley and works on the consumer well.
Secrecy has been a part of human life since the Stone Age. In
our modern age, we use secret chat to share undisclosed information with an
individual. Messaging apps make this undisclosed information to disappear from
app’s chat log. Some of the messaging apps claim that they use their
own encrypted format for the secret chat feature. This feature is designed to
be a one-on-one chat where all messages sent back and forth are encrypted with
a key. Theoretically, no third party can unencrypt those
messages until they can access or hack into any one of the chat
participant’s device. The
secret messages are saved in text format as a cache database into the user’s
device. Anyone with access to the user's device can access the chat
database from the phone’s memory.
Sometimes the deleted messages remain into the app memory
even after deletion from the interface. These messages may not show in the
interface or history, but they still remain into cached files. Most apps
use end to end encryption, it provides a high level of security and it is
nearly impossible to access user data.

Yeah! Can you? |
Still, we would find advises to keep ourselves secured in the
mobile network. These advises may include - not using unsecured Wi-Fi
networks, not disclosing sensitive information, to keep changing our passwords periodically
and have comprehensive security software installed in the device.
In app stores, users can find many apps having an option for
"Secret Group Chat". Users will be capable of chatting one-on-one or
with a group and it will be encrypted end to end. The message content will be
more secured behind an additional layer of encryption before the message is
sent. This ensures that the message is read only by the recipient it was
sent for. As the group has advanced security settings, the group is limited to
50 users per chat room and services like polling and scheduling are not yet available.
The messages in the group will be deleted from the interface but will exist
in users' smartphones.
