The security of our tablets and smartphones is a requirement that is increasingly demanded by millions of users. As we have mentioned on other occasions, Android is the most attractive target for hackers who launch increasingly sophisticated malicious elements and whose basis is the theft of personal information either through installed applications, or access to superuser permissions at the terminals.
Antivirus programs and virus managers aren't the only front-line tools in the fight against all kinds of viruses. Among the tools used daily are other alternatives like Confide, which, at first glance, seem to guarantee user protection when handling their devices. We'll tell you just how useful this messaging app can be, as it aims to go a step beyond what's already available on Google Play.
Operation
As we mentioned earlier, Confide shares the same basic principles as WhatsApp and other similar platforms. Offering the ability to maintain both individual chats and group conversations, the application's strength lies in the automatic deletion of content and chats once they have been viewed or read. However, it also allows for encryption and includes a system that prevents screenshots and their sharing.
Synchronization
The interface of this application is simple, making it suitable for both home and professional users. Its interconnectivity across different devices is another of its most striking features, similar to WhatsApp Web. Unlike many of its counterparts, this tool allows you to cancel sending messages after they have been composed.
Free?
Confide's developers claim their platform is already available in over 180 countries. Despite being free , it hasn't yet achieved a significant number of downloads, having only reached half a million users who have criticized aspects such as its in-app purchases , which are uncommon in other apps of its kind and can cost up to €50 per item, as well as update bugs that automatically delete messages or errors when sending audio.
Do you think Confide could be a good alternative for those seeking maximum privacy, or do you believe there are other, more competitive platforms? More information about similar tools like Remind is available so you can form your own opinion.
