And a screenshot, or another camera, or a rooted phone can easily defeat that. The analog hole ALWAYS exists. Pretending it doesnt is ridiculous.

- summm 5y agoExactly this. Even more: Auto-deleting messages are also that the sender doesn't have to delete them manually. Most people do not understand this. I even had a discussion with an open source chat app implementer who insisted on not implementing disappearing messages because they couldn't be really enforced.

- hiq 5y agoThat's a different threat model, no messaging app is trying to protect the sender from the receiver. Disappearing messages are meant to protect two parties communicating with each other against a 3rd party who would eventually gain access to the device and its data.
- bigiain 5y agoWickr has a "screenshot notification to sender" feature (which of course, can be worked around by taking a pic of the screen without Wickr knowing you've done it).
