New Delhi: It is likely that you may have suffered from 'text regret' wishing you could unsend a text message at least once. A simple solution for this lies in a new breed of apps that focus on security and encryption.
Enter the new RakEM app, just released for Android and iOS, which allows you to 'unsend' a text by deleting the message from the receiver's smartphone.
Besides offering all the basics, the new app offer direct device-to-device delivery and "self-mutating encryption algorithms" of industrial strength, and can encrypt your streaming voice and video as well.
The app allows users to delete unwanted messages while maintaining privacy with advanced encryption algorithms.
"With security breaches making headlines almost daily, people want assurance that their communications are private and protected," said Greg Parker, president and CEO of Raketu in New York.
"And that, should they have second thoughts about something they sent, they can delete with confidence from devices. Raketu's technology makes this possible," he said.
The company says RakEM's reciprocal message deletion allows users to simply delete the unwanted message, by removing it from both devices either one by one, or by conversation.
"Other messaging apps have promised security, but we've all read the stories about images and messages that have been unwittingly exposed," Parker said.
"With security breaches making headlines almost daily, people want assurance that their communications are private and protected. And that, should they have second thoughts about something they sent, they can delete with confidence from devices. Raketu's technology makes this possible."
According to the press release, "RakEM supports all languages and is in use in over 150 countries."
