This isn’t an ad, I wasn’t paid for this post. Just to clear the air: fuck facebook, fuck elon musk and twitter, fuck anyone who thinks this is a paid advertisement. I wish I was paid for this shit, I just wanted to spread the word. Thank you. 😀 👍

    Welcome to life after 40 - I’ve been an early adopter all my life, but my network hasn’t moved with me.

    As a result joining Snapchat has no value for me.

    So I tend to use apps that are friend-agnostic like this and TIkTok.

    Side note: my fave messaging app is Confide, it only reveals redacted words as you run your finger over them, and then deletes. So it’s impossible to screenshot.

      It sounds like you’d still be able to take a video of it, then do a little bit of filtering and you’d have an image of the whole message. It’d take slightly more effort, but it’s not “impossible to screenshot.”

        I’m not sure actually. I just tried to screen record and it wouldn’t let me. Then I tried to take a screenshot and it triggered a no screenshots pop-up

          You can do with another device (i.e. filming the screen). It is of course less convenient, but that’s it.
