Privates app lets you take back a text before your recipient opens it, prevent screenshots

Ever given into a drunken text or sent one off in a fit of rage that you’ll later regret? Well, a new app hopes to help you out with that unfortunate message. Privates can help you recall a text or picture message before your recipient opens it. You just need to tap on the Recall button to get the message back. This’ll delete the message from Privates server. If your recipient is glued to their phone, you’ll have to act fast.

The app boasts of having screenshot prevention, meaning your recipient can’t take screenshots and send it to others. Of course, physically passing around the phone is a different story. Privates has three levels of security: Mild, Wild, and Insane—which will delete unread messages after either 24, 12, or three hours, respectively. There’s also a Reactions feature that will show you the facial expression of your recipient when they see the message. It’s initially available for iOS but will be coming to Android and Windows soon.
