Hi! This approaches private chats in a unique way. Messages can be viewed once only. Unsend any unread message without notifying the receiver. Viber won't protect you from screenshots.

The most notable difference is messages being stored inside capsules. This means that you have to open a message to read it. You can only view it once. When displayed, messages do not include the senders name.

Messages sent on the app are end-to-end encrypted and the key is not known to the server. The only way anybody can read your messages is if you allow them physical access to your phone.
