5. Cyberdust
There are dozens of companies trying to build the next Snapchat or Secret, hoping to strike gold with yet another app designed to keep your messages private. Cyber Dust functions similar to Snapchat, but with a focus primarily on texting. Messages are erased after 30 seconds. The app sends “fully encrypted messages” and never saves the data to your device’s hard drive or a server. The Android app also disables screenshots to make it more difficult for recipients to capture evidence. Like Snapchat, Cyber Dust’s Blast feature sends photos (Android users can draw on them) or emoji monkeys to a group of others. Nothing is as exciting as a notification that someone “has sent you a monkey.” Cyberdust is also very reliable in terms of security. It only sends encrypted images to avoid unauthorized use. Along with it, it also notifies you if the recipient tries to screenshot your message and thus prevents your media from reaching their hard disk. It also allows you to send same message to multiple people, called as Blast message.
