Configure Mandatory Disappearing Messages
Secret chats require a disappearing message timer — choose from 5 seconds to 24 hours. Messages cannot be kept permanently in secret chats, ensuring no long-term record of the conversation.
3
Enable Screenshot Notifications
Secret chats notify both parties if either takes a screenshot. While screenshots cannot be prevented, the notification creates accountability and awareness of any screen capture attempts.
