What is Wickr Me? We introduce the messenger

Since the beginning of the messenger era, data security has always been an important issue. Wickr Me emphasizes the security aspect and wants to score points against WhatsApp and Co. with it. We explain the service and its features.

In terms of security: With Wickr Me, nothing is left for eternity.

End-to-end encryption has long been standard with both WhatsApp and Telegram. Wickr Me, however, goes one step further.

What is Wickr Me - and what is special about it?

The specialty of Wickr Me is that all chat messages are automatically deleted after a certain time.

• The time is set to six days by default, but can be changed individually.
• Shorter periods are also possible, starting with six hours and ending with five days.
• Individual specifications are also possible, down to the second.

In principle, Wickr Me thus takes up the Snapchat principle: The service became a global success years ago, because sent photos were displayed only a few seconds and then deleted. The mobile app is available for iOS and Android, and there are also desktop programs for Windows, Mac and Linux. To the downloads it goes here along.
