Just sent someone a nasty or inappropriate text message and want to take it back? Now, there's an app for that.
Introducing Strings, a messaging app that allows you to take back your
messages by controlling "if and when content is deleted, immediately and
permanently."
Strings can also allow a user to control if other users download photos and videos or share them with others.
The catch, however, is that the app is available only for iOS, at least for now.
Another catch? Your recipients must have the app installed on their
phones, too, so you can't use it if your friend's phone runs on Android
or Windows Phone.
10 Commandments of Sharing (on Strings)
Strings also gives users a list of so-called "Ten Commandments of Sharing":
- You need a smartphone and phone number to use Strings. No number, no use.
- Your profile is not public. Only people who you add to your contact list can share with you.
- The only people who can view your content are the ones you share it with. Add people and remove people anytime.
- No one can download or share your content without your approval. Period.
- If anyone takes screenshots of your content, Strings will detect it and their account will be suspended.
- If you remove yourself from a conversation, anything you said will be removed with you.
- If you delete a photo, video or chat that you created, it will be deleted on every participant’s device.
- If you delete your account, your photos, videos and comments are deleted forever, on all phones and servers.
- What you share will never be analyzed, mined, sold, filed, or otherwise used at your expense.
- Strings is free to use and free of advertising.
