Get A Secured Messaging App With Wickr for iOS

About the only potential issue with the app is that before your message expires, the receiver can grab a quick screenshot. However, the Wickr FAQ states that: "To make it harder for people from taking screenshots of photos and videos, we have programmed the app to stop showing a photo or video when the device is moved by a certain amount. To view the media, use a steady hand."

Wickr is easy to set up and use. Of course, both sides of the messaging transaction need to run the Wickr app.

One of the nice things about iMessage is that I can use it from my Macs at home or on the road. There is no Mac client for Wickr, but I would love to see one.

Wickr is not a universal app, but will run on an iPad (not at full-screen unless you are in 2X mode). Wickr requires iOS 5.1 or greater and is optimized for the iPhone 5 series.
