Sending Secret Messages that Disappear: 3 Ways to Make Them Vanish

If you’re going to send someone a secret message, it might as well not be secret anymore when they read it, right? That’s why disappearing messages are so cool — and why we have tips on how to make them disappear once they’re read in this article. All three of these methods make your messages look like normal text (if anyone else tries to read them) until the recipient reads them with the correct decoding method in place. Read on to learn more!

How do secret messages disappear?

There are a few ways to make messages disappear after they've been read. One is to use an app that's specifically designed for this purpose, like Confide or Signal. Another is to set a timer on your message so it automatically deletes after a certain amount of time has passed. And finally, you can also use a self-destructing email service like ProtonMail. While some people might be concerned about the security risks with these apps and services, keep in mind that they're only meant to protect the secrecy of the information being sent. They don't necessarily offer more protection than your regular email account against hacking, phishing scams, and other cyber threats.

How do you send disappearing messages?

There are a few ways to send disappearing messages. The first is to use an app like Snapchat, which allows you to set a timer for how long your message will be visible for. Once the timer expires, the message will disappear. Another way is to use a service like Wickr, which offers military-grade encryption for your messages. Finally, you could always just write your message on a piece of paper and then destroy it once it's been read. If you want to take things one step further, another option would be to use invisible ink so that when someone scans the paper with a black light they can see what was written.

How to use Snapchat's disappearing message feature

1. Open the Snapchat app and sign in.

2. Tap the New Chat icon in the top-right corner of the screen.

3. Select the person you want to chat with from your contacts list.

4. Type your message into the Type a Message field.

5. Tap the Send icon to send your disappearing message.

6. To see how long it will take for the recipient to read your message, tap the blue clock icon next to their name on the right side of the screen.

7. To see how many seconds are left before they'll disappear, tap the clock icon again on their name's text box on the right side of the screen or at bottom of your messages window.

8. When they read it, it will disappear!
