First off, messages part of a secret chat will not be available to forward so the whole thing stays private.Įven better, Viber is not only adding screenshot alerts to warn users when others are capturing a photo of the secret chat, but it also allows users to block screenshots altogether. Viber is also adding a number of neat features to further enhance the experience. The new option will just add more options for privacy, letting users choose whether they want to store PIN-locked conversations or have chats disappear altogether. The secret chats feature will apparently be available in addition to the hidden chats option Viber already offers, which allows users to protect their conversations with a PIN. Users can pre-set the self-destruct timer and rest assured that their conversation won't leave a trace. As VentureBeat reports, Viber's upcoming secret chats will enable whole conversation threads to self-destruct, whether they're making up a group chat or a private chat with a friend.
The secret chats feature builds on the same concept, but the feature applies to entire conversations rather than just single messages. Once the time expires, that message vanishes like it was never part of the conversation. More specifically, the secret messages feature allows users to send a message with a self-destruct timer set for how long the photo, video, or text would be visible within a conversation. Viber already launched secret messages earlier this year, but only for single messages.
