Bring Back Secure Shred

By Poliscimonster (Pcmac user)

I was initially excited to see the new revamped app hit the market, but then I discovered that the most useful feature—Secure Shred—had not only had its manual functionality removed, but also now only focused on erasing/sanitizing the data related to the app messaging. While it’s nice to think that’s running in the background, the app eventually times out and the screen lock comes on (which effectively shuts down the app) while waiting for the background shred to work. Manual controls allowed not only the ability to monitor progress of the operation, but also allowed users to see the before and after effects the shred had on available storage. Please bring back the manual controls and the functionality that allows you to permanently overwrite/erase/shred deleted files (other than those are tied to the app specifically)! the app held a perfect spot in the App Store for this use case, and now it’s hard to find a suitable (and trusted) replacement.
Perfect except password recovery

By 212Q (Pcmac user)

I love having a channel totally disconnected to the rest of my online identity, but perhaps consider at least having some sort of security question option. Got locked out of my account because fingerprint unlock unexpectedly turned off and had forgotten my password after never having had to type it in for months, which effectively lost me many important contacts. The screenshot alert feature is gold - even better (if possible) would be option to manually disable screenshots within each chat so you also don’t have to deal with scolding people and trusting them to actually delete them!
SECURE! Mostly reliable, sometimes buggy

By KazzrieT (Pcmac user)

I do love and trust the the app app. The company puts security and privacy first on their priority list. I believe them that even if records were legally subpoenaed, there would not and could not be any message content; because it is not stored anywhere. This is one of the serious problems with regular text messages, and a crazy bad problem with Facebook Messenger. They store all content Forever! Don’t say or ask anything the least bit confidential via any FB system, ever. I do experience intermittent service interruptions and glitches, at times, when using the app. I recommend saving the the app ID for each of your friends/clients in your contact list, and/or taking screenshots of your the app user list. That way, if the app starts behaving badly, you can uninstall, restart your phone, and reinstall the app (and easily reconnect with your people). I had to do that once. It did resolve whatever ghost-in-the-machine problem I was having. Thanks for an awesome, secure, private, and Free app! I appreciate your effort to make the modern world a safer place. :)
Update

By Expat321 (Pcmac user)

the app is number 1. You may take some small issue with aesthetics, but that has precisely nothing to do with security. This app beats out the others where it counts. We live in a world that is regressing into censorship. Certain countries, both democratic as well as non-democratic, and even big tech ALL engage in censorship for wrong think. It's very sad. Real 1984 stuff. Americans have it a little better than the rest..for now. No matter, because everyone needs apps like this, as well as protonmail and a good VPN. Censorship, particularly of political views and social topics, is abuse and it's not okay. Also, don't forget to delete tracking cookies and clear history daily, or hourly.
