What do people usually use the secret messenger function for?

Great question! Thank you for asking!

The secret feature was set up to rival the WhatsApp messenger program, where messages are secret and only available to the people who the messages are directed to. It's been a popular feature with WhatsApp and one that consumers find a lot of comfort in. In the age of technology and the questions about whether our private information is truly safe, one comfort people are finding is the messages sent through this encryption are private.

One way a business could utilize this feature is if you take sensitive information, you know the messages can be set on a time schedule for deletion and that no one else can access the data. With the younger generation, they perform most of their lives on social media. This is one way a business can work with this generation and use the protection that we are used to in other mediums.
