A cool new app Squealock Messenger ★★★ Introducing Squealock Messenger ★★★ Description: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING: Squealock Encrypted Messenger is a unique messaging app for the privacy and security minded. We do not allow profile pictures and options like sending videos or sound recordings (you are still able to send pictures), nor display your contacts within the app like most messaging apps do, simply because this could compromise user anonymity. You will need to give your user ID to those you wish to chat with, so they can message you here. In fact, my user ID is kw07, and I can be your first contact! We hope you enjoy it as much as our whole team does. About Squealock: Most of us are already weary about giving out our phone numbers to strangers, and for good reasons. It can be subjected to abuse by stalkers, advertisers, and can even be used to collect more personal data about you, without your consent. Most messaging apps require your phone number when you sign up, in order to gain access to your phone data, including your contacts' names, their numbers, and email addresses, to say the least. This data is often used by companies for marketing and advertising purposes, is not always well guarded, and can therefore end up in the wrong hands. There are lots of ephemeral chat apps out there, but the fact remains that people still can manage to take snaps with external devices or preinstalled software, even if your favorite chat app offers screenshot notification or DRM protection, which aim at preventing screenshots. With our app however, your true identity still won't be exposed (although you should never send a revealing picture with your face in it, if you truly wish to remain anonymous). That's because our app is not just an encrypted messaging application. It also allows you to change your primary identifier (user ID), and does not store messages on your phone in form of a chat log. Besides messages rigidly self-destruct once read (not delay options). Your contacts must have your user ID in order to message you on the app, therefore giving you full control. Unlike a phone number there is no worry in giving out your user ID to people for privacy reasons, because it can easily be changed. Once you change your user ID, the old user ID becomes invalid, and no one can use it to contact you anymore. It’s like being able to change your phone number as often as you wish, but without the hassle. Your encrypted messages cannot be read by anyone except the intended recipients; not even by us. We do not require your phone number nor access your phone contacts when you sign up. There are many uses for Squealock: Maybe you are an executive or politician who needs to often communicate confidential information to your team through encrypted messaging. Maybe you have just met someone you would like to stay in touch with, but aren’t sure about giving them your phone number. Maybe you are a journalist that relies on a source whose identity must be protected at all cost; or maybe you are looking for a way to keep people from accessing your phone and reading your text messages; and the list goes on...
