David Marcus of Facebook Messenger announced today that the platform is testing a new feature that allows put a timer to the conversations so that they disappear. In this way, it joins many other apps that allow the self-destruction of messages that have been inspired by one that burst onto the scene such as Snapchat and that was just updated yesterday.
The feature, called "Secret Conversations", will take care of encrypting your end-to-end messages both the sender and the receiver. Users will be able to determine a timer for how long they want the message to exist between the two parties, and thus ultimately disappear.
This feature will be deployed as an optional setting for conversations that have information that we do not want That you spend a lot of time online, such as sharing your ID or other sensitive data. A fairly adequate measure for security and that as an option is very good for those who want to put up the fence.
Already in itself Facebook Messenger offers enough security in its daily messages and calls, but what you really want is to add an extra layer that allows the user at certain times to have the certainty that the message that he has sent to a contact will disappear at the time or time he sees fit.
A feature that is aimed to offer the same that Snapchat has been providing to the user for years and that for this reason has become so well known. And it will not be the first to add this feature, since as usually happens with all messaging apps, they go copying each other to offer the best possible service. This feature will begin to be deployed throughout the summer and it is possible that some of you can already use it.
