New in v4.4 (Testflight Beta):

  • disappearing messages (with mutual agreement)!
  • live messages – they update for all recipients as you type them.
  • connection security code verification, for contacts and group members – protect from MITM attacks.
  • send animated images and “stickers” (e.g., from GIF and PNG files and 3rd party keyboards)

    There is another use case for disappearing messages: protection against domestic violence. If the violent partner checks the victim’s device, seeing messages might incite an attack.

      This is the same. You trust the recipient but don’t wan the messages to be stored for a long time.
